The success convinced her label to allow her more creative control over the album and to use some of the songs that she had written instead of forcing her to work with mainstream producers. Allen decided to work with producers Greg Kurstin and Mark Ronson, finishing the rest of the album in two weeks. Allen's debut album, "Alright, Still", was released in July 2006. Most of the tracks had been previewed on her MySpace page, including the singles "Smile", "LDN", "Knock 'Em Out", and "Alfie". In September 2006, "Smile" was made available on the US version of iTunes Store. By December 2006, her music video for "Smile" had been played on various music channels as well as the song getting a little airplay. "Entertainment Weekly" named "Alright, Still" as one of the top 10 albums of 2006 despite the fact that it had not yet been released in the US. Allen also did several promotional ads for MTV as their "Discover and Download" artist of the month for January 2007. The album was released in the US on 30 January 2007, landing at 20 on the "Billboard" 200. By January 2009, the album had sold 960,000 copies in the UK and 520,000 copies in the US.
