The same-day dual release of his next albums ''Sweat'' and ''Suit'' (2004)—bundled into compilation album ''Sweatsuit'' (2005)—promptly continued his success; ''Sweat'' debuted at number two while ''Suit'' debuted at number one, selling an estimated 700,000 combined units in their first week. His fifth studio album, ''Brass Knuckles'' (2008) was supported by the singles "Party People" (featuring Fergie), "Stepped on My J'z" (featuring Jermaine Dupri and Ciara) and "Body on Me" (featuring Akon and Ashanti). His sixth album, ''5.0'' (2010), delved further into pop; its lead single, "Just a Dream" received triple platinum certification by the RIAA and was followed by "Move That Body" (featuring T-Pain and Akon) and "Gone" (featuring Kelly Rowland). His seventh and eighth albums, ''M.O.'' (2013) and ''Heartland'' (2021) were met with moderate to lukewarm commercial response and mixed reviews—the latter was released by Columbia Records and marked a full departure from his previous styles in favor of country rap.
Nelly has won multiple accolades throughout his career, including three Grammy Awards and nine ''Billboard'' Music Awards. He has been referred to by Peter Shapiro as "one of the biggest stars of the new millennium", and in 2014, Nelly was ranked as the fourth-best-selling hip hop artist in American music history according to the RIAA, with 21 million albums sold in the United States. In December 2009, ''Billboard'' ranked Nelly at number three on the Top Artists of the Decade list for the 2000s. Outside of recording, he starred in the 2005 sports film, ''The Longest Yard'' alongside Adam Sandler and Chris Rock. He launched the clothing line Vokal in 1997 and the line of womenswear, Apple Bottoms in 2003. His record label imprint, Derrty Entertainment was launched as a joint venture with Motown also in the latter year, although it has been largely inactive. Provided by Wikipedia
