Sleeping in the Nothing is the second studio album by Kelly Osbourne and was release in 2005. Unlike the pop punk sound of her first album, Sleeping in the Nothing features Osbourne singing to '80s-inspired electro beats. For the role of producer, Osbourne worked with Linda Perry, widely known for working with artists such as Christina Aguilera, Pink, Courtney Love and Gwen Stefani.

Contents

The Japanese edition of the album contains a cover of the 1986 Stacey Q song "Two of Hearts" as a bonus track.


Reception

The album received generally positive critical feedback, with many reviews beginning with an admonition to forget about her previous work. Billboard said "the singer sounds incredibly at home in such surroundings." Giving the album three out of five stars, Rolling Stone called it an "occasionally invigorating disc of shiny dance rock".

The first single from the album, "One Word" peaked at number 1 on three Billboard dance charts. Osbourne became the first artist in the history of the Billboard charts to top all three dance surveys in the same week. The single also reached number 9 on the UK Singles Chart. The album peaked at number 117 on the Billboard 200, selling just under 9,000 copies despite receiving some favorable reviews.

Promotion

Osbourne promoted the album with several appearances on TV shows and award ceremonies, including CD:UK, and the MTV Australia Video Music Awards 2005. Osbourne also made an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, during which Ross made negative comments on Osbourne's weight. The comments eventually caused Osbourne to have a nervous breakdown in June 2005, which sent her to rehab. This stopped any further promotion for the album, and all future single releases were canceled.
