Craig David No#7 Slicker Than Your Average

2000s: Born to Do It and Slicker Than Your Average

The success of David's debut, which was written almost entirely by David and Mark Hill of Artful Dodger, led to the United States release of "Fill Me In" in May 2001. It reached number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100. Born to Do It was released in the United States on 17 July 2001, peaking at number 11 on the Billboard 200 and sold over 1 million copies. The single "7 Days" hit the Top 10 in the U.S.; although "Walking Away", which had reached number 3 in the UK and number 5 in Australia, missed the Top 40 in the U.S. and was the last of his singles to chart there.
