"The Comfort Zone" is the second studio album by American R&B singer Vanessa Williams, released by Polydor on August 20 1991 (see 1991 in music).

Chart performance

The album peaked at #17 on the U.S. "Billboard" 200 and reached number one on the "Billboard" Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. In the U.K., it peaked at number twenty four upon its release before quickly falling out of the top fifty. It later re-entered the UK chart around the Christmas season, and climbed into the Top 20 and went on to receive a UK platinum certificate for sales of 310,000 copies.

The first single off the album was "Running Back to You", a '70s funk-influenced uptempo track, which sampled a song from The Breakfast Club. The song peaked at number one on the "Billboard" Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and number eighteen on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart. "The Comfort Zone", the second single, peaked at sixty two on the Hot 100, but number two on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. "Save The Best For Last" reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks straight. "Just for Tonight", was the fourth single from the album reaching number twenty-six on the Hot 100, followed by "Work To Do" which achieved moderate success. The album sold 2.8 million worldwide at its time of release, with 2.2 million of those sold in the US. It has since been certified three times platinum in the US and gold in Canada by the CRIA.

"The Comfort Zone" was nominated for five Grammy Awards including: Best Pop Female Vocalist, "Record of the Year" and "Song of the Year" for "Save the Best for Last", Best Rhythm & Blues Vocal Performance - Female for "Runnin' Back to You" (In 1992), and Best Rhythm & Blues Vocal Performance - Female for "The Comfort Zone".
