***O-Town*** is the eponymous debut studio album released by American boy band O-Town, released on January 23, 2001, in the United States by J Records, Trans Continental Records, and BMG, with distribution later handled by Zomba Label Group in 2002.

## Background

The album was first released on January 23, 2001, in the United States. It contained a total of twelve tracks. Around this time, the album was also released in Japan, with two bonus remixes exclusively for the market.

In March 2001, the band were asked into the studio to record a song for the *Dr. Dolittle 2* soundtrack. The track, "We Fit Together", featured on the soundtrack, released in June 2001.

Following the release of "All or Nothing", the album was released in Europe and the United Kingdom on August 6, 2001, complete with "We Fit Together" as a bonus track, bringing the number of tracks to thirteen. As "We Fit Together" was not included on the original American version of the album, American fans were treated to a "Special Fan Edition" of the album on May 28, 2002. This also included an exclusive CD-ROM section. The fan edition was also made available in Germany.

## Singles

The album was released following the success of the band's top 10 hit, "Liquid Dreams". The album peaked at #5 and spawned the follow-up singles "All or Nothing", "We Fit Together" and "Love Should Be A Crime". "All or Nothing" peaked at #3 on the Adult Contemporary chart. "We Fit Together" stalled at #4 on the *Billboard* Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles Chart. "Love Should Be a Crime" was not featured on any *Billboard* charts at all, although it made it to the top 40 in the UK, becoming the lowest-charting single from the album.

## Commercial performance

In the United States, the album debuted at number five on the *Billboard* 200, selling over 150,000 copies in the first week. Just one month after it released, the album was certified platinum by the RIAA. It eventually hit 1,700,000 copies, and over 3 million worldwide, becoming the band's most successful album.

The album was a commercial success across Europe and North America, debuting in the top 10 of Canada, Iceland and the United Kingdom.
