"Nobody Wants to Be Lonely" is second single from Ricky Martin's second English album, Sound Loaded. Released in 2001, the single (which is a duet with Christina Aguilera) peaked at #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 becoming Martin's 4th Top 20 hit and Aguilera's 6th Top 20 hit. The single also peaked at #4 in the UK and #6 in Australia. The single is most known for being a leader in showing that high profile singles could still do relatively well without major commercial releases (which helped usher in the social norm of today's singles).
