Usher developed a friendship with American record producer Jermaine Dupri, with whom he co-wrote and produced several tracks for his second album, "My Way", released on September 16, 1997. The album's lead single, "You Make Me Wanna...", reached number one in the United Kingdom, becoming Usher's first record to be top single; this resulted in him increasing in popularity. It also became Usher's first gold- and platinum-certified single in the United States. The album's second single, "Nice & Slow", peaked in January 1998 at number one on the "Billboard" Hot 100, giving Usher his first US number-one single. In February of the same year, the single was certified platinum by the RIAA. "My Way" has been certified six-time platinum in the United States.
