Data Insight
One of the thirteen tracks carries her name, "Freeze". Everything else was written for her by Stargate, the Underdogs, Christian Karlsson and Pontus Winnberg, and the rest of the label's writing bench. It is a debut in the strictest sense: she sings it and nothing more.
Jordin Sparks came out on 19 and Jive in November 2007, six months after she won American Idol. It sold over two million copies worldwide and is certified platinum.
