Data Insight
Ginuwine is on ten of the thirteen tracks but alone on only one. Timbaland's name sits beside his on nine of them, which makes this less a singer's album than a partnership recorded under one name.
Ginuwine... the Bachelor came out on 550 Music and Epic in October 1996, produced end to end by Timbaland, and has sold 2,000,000 in the United States. "Pony" reached number 6 on the Hot 100.
