[edit] Career
The single "I Love You Always Forever" was hugely successful on US radio, and stayed at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 for nine consecutive weeks. The song also spent thirteen consecutive weeks at Number one on the airplay chart. It exceeded one million 'spins' on radio, to claim its place in music industry history, as the most-played single ever up to that point. The single also reached a high of Number 5 in the UK Singles Chart in 1996. The popularity of the song shot Lewis's debut album Now in a Minute to platinum status.
Lewis also performed "At the Beginning" with Richard Marx for the movie, Anastasia. Her second LP Blue Planet won critical acclaim, but was largely overlooked by the public. Although it eventually garnered a #1 dance single "Love Him", Lewis parted ways with Atlantic Records and independently produced her third LP Be Still, which featured Lewis on an almost entirely acoustic set. Lewis was also featured as a guest vocalist on several trance music / house music recordings. Her new LP In The Pink is due out in 2007.
