Anna Nalick (real name - Anna Christine Nalick) is an American singer-songwriter. She was born on March 30, 1984, in Glendora, California.
Nalick's first single from her Wreck of the Day album was "Breathe (2 A.M.)", which peaked to no 45 U.S. and went 3x Platinum on the Billboard Hot 100, and went huge on Adult Contemporary and Adult Top 40, both at no 6. It was heavily played on AAA and Hot AC stations across the U.S., along with light airplay on Pop stations, and Nalick became one of 2005's biggest newcomers. Her video for the track got very heavy airplay on VH1 and some MTV airplay as well.
In the fall of 2005, Nalick released "In The Rough". The single was moderately successful charting on the Billboard Hot Adult Top 40 Tracks at no 15. Her album sales only slightly increased after the release of "In The Rough"; most say it was because the last single was almost a full year before and most had forgotten Nalick. However, Wreck of the Day, up to the time of this writing, has sold over 615,000 copies with a gold certification from the RIAA, and a no 20 peak on the Billboard 200. In New Zealand, Wreck of The Day reached the Top 15 albums on the Top 40 Albums Chart.
In August 2007 it was reported by Radio & Records that Nalick will release her second album on December 31, 2007 currently under the title of Acceptance, influenced by the difficult time she has had to "personally overcome the sophomore slump".
