The late Atlantic Records founder, Ahmet Ertegun, once hailed Trey Songz as one of "the most promising R&B artists we have had since we started the company 60 years ago" and he has undoubtedly proved him to be correct. Since making his recording debut in 2005, the Grammy Award-nominated singer has patiently and artfully crafted some of the most acclaimed and compelling R&B music of the decade. 2009's Ready, Trey Songz's third album and sequel to Trey Day (2007), reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200 upon its August 2009 release and was eventually certified platinum by the RIAA. Named among the "Best Contemporary R&B Album" nominees at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, the album features a stunning series of singles, including "I Need A Girl ," Trey & Drake's gold certified "Successful," "LOL :-)" (feat. Gucci Mane and Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em), "Neighbors Know My Name," the top 10, 2x platinum favorite, "Say Aah," and the No. 1 smash, "I Invented Sex" (feat. Drake).
