Paris is the debut studio album by American media personality and singer Paris Hilton. It was released on August 14, 2006, by Warner Bros. Records. The entire album was posted on AOL Music, becoming available for online stream eight days before the scheduled physical copy release date.[1] After being signed to the label in 2005, Hilton began working on the album with producer Rob Cavallo, who was originally set to produce the entire record. They recorded the song "Screwed", which was intended to be the lead single. However, after meeting with producer Scott Storch, Hilton decided to change the musical direction of the album and record more hip hop and R&B influenced songs. She collaborated with other producers, including Fernando Garibay, J.R. Rotem, Dr. Luke and Greg Wells. Musically, Paris is a pop album that is influenced by hip hop. It also incorporates elements of reggae, soul, pop rock and R&B.
Upon its release, Paris received mixed reviews from music critics, but saw commercial success, peaking at number six on the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 77,000 copies.[2] As of October 2013, the album has sold 198,000 copies in the United States and over 600,000 copies worldwide.[3][4]
Three singles were released from Paris. "Stars Are Blind" was released as the lead single on June 5, 2006 to critical and commercial success. It peaked at number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of the highest debuting singles of 2006.[citation needed] The second single, "Turn It Up", was successful on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart, peaking at number one. "Nothing in This World", the album's third and final single, was released on August 28, 2006 and peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart.
