Gwen Stefani made her name as the voice of No Doubt, the ska-pop band whose Tragic Kingdom gave the world "Just a Girl", "Spiderwebs" and "Don't Speak", before "Hey Baby" and "It's My Life" took them further still. With the band on hiatus, she went solo in 2004 with Love. Angel. Music. Baby., a candy-colored pop record that raids the 1980s for its synths and sass and dresses them up in R&B grooves and electro-shine.
It was a hit with critics and buyers alike, and it kept spinning off singles, six in all. "What You Waiting For?" opened the account with a twitchy electro stomp, "Rich Girl" and "Cool" followed, and "Hollaback Girl", all stomp and playground chant, went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and became the first US download to sell a million copies. By 2005 she had an American Music Award, a Brit Award, a Billboard Music Award for Top New Artist and a pair of MTV Video Music Awards to show for it.
The Sweet Escape followed in 2006, and This Is What the Truth Feels Like in 2016 gave her a first solo number one on the Billboard 200. Along the way she built fashion lines of her own, L.A.M.B. and Harajuku Lovers, and she has since recorded duets with her husband, Blake Shelton.
