The Dutchess Songwriting Credits by Fergie

"The Dutchess" is the 2006 solo studio album from Fergie, the female vocalist of the Black Eyed Peas, drawing on pop, hip-hop, R&B, reggae, and soul. The record was led by "London Bridge," which spent three weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, and it also produced the chart-toppers "Glamorous" featuring Ludacris and "Big Girls Don't Cry." With those three singles, Fergie became the first female artist to send three number-ones to the Hot 100 from a single album since Christina Aguilera in 2000, and "Fergalicious" featuring will.i.am reached number two while "Clumsy" landed in the top five. Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am served as executive producer and worked on eight tracks alongside producers such as Polow da Don, Ron Fair, and John Legend, with additional features from John Legend and Rita Marley. The album debuted at number three with 142,000 copies in its first week and climbed to a peak of number two on the Billboard 200, going on to sell 12 million copies worldwide and earning a five-times Platinum certification from the RIAA.
