Azalea's debut studio album, The New Classic (2014), peaked among the top five on several charts worldwide, but received mixed reviews from within the industry. The album eventually topped the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, making Azalea the first non-American female rapper to reach the top of the chart. The New Classic was preceded by Azalea's debut single "Work" and chart-topping single "Fancy" (featuring Charli XCX), which hit the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Azalea was featured on Ariana Grande's 2014 single "Problem", which peaked at number two behind "Fancy". With these hits, Azalea became the second musical act (behind The Beatles) act to rank at number one and two simultaneously on the Hot 100 with their debut appearances on the chart. In addition, she achieved three top ten hits simultaneously on the Hot 100 with the aforementioned songs and the album's fifth single, "Black Widow" (featuring Rita Ora), which debuted later that year.
After her debut album, Azalea released a slew of singles to build anticipation for her intended second album, Digital Distortion. However, a series of conflicts with her label, as well as personal conflicts, resulted in the project being cancelled. Consequently, Azalea switched labels, releasing the EP Survive the Summer (2018) under Island Records. Further disagreements led to Azalea becoming an independent artist and creating her own label, Bad Dreams, through a distribution deal with Empire. Her second album, In My Defense, was released in 2019, followed by another EP, Wicked Lips, that same year. Before taking a hiatus from music, Azalea released her third studio album, The End of an Era, in August 2021.
Azalea's accolades include two American Music Awards, three Billboard Music Awards, an MTV Video Music Award, a People's Choice Award, four Teen Choice Awards and four Grammy Award nominations. Azalea's official YouTube channel has accumulated more than 3.4 billion views, with 15 music videos receiving over 100 million views on Vevo.

Iggy Azalea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lil' Sally Walker walkin' down the street
She didn't know what to do, so she jumped in front of me
Lil' Sally Walker walkin' down the street
She didn't know what to do, so she jumped in front of me
I said go on, girl, do your thang (go)
Go on, girl, do your thang (go), do your thang (go), stop (go)
Go on, girl, do your thang (go)
Do your thang (go), do your thang (go)
Go on, girl, do your thang (go), do your thang (go), drop (go)
Lil' Sally Walker, uh, shake it proper, uh
Bend it over, make it wobble, uh, got a lot o' buns
Pick it up and drop it, uh, for the proper funds
Anything to make the profit come, get them dollars, hon'
Add that shit up just like mathematics
If you do it for free, then it's ass backwards
All of you bitches is mad at me
Probably mad 'cause you ain't in my tax bracket
You bitches is broker than glass crackin'
You ain't gon' do shit, you just act ratchet
Play with me, you gon' get back handed
I toot it up and look back at it
Lil' Sally Walker, walkin' down the street
She didn't know what to do, so she jumped in front of me
Lil' Sally Walker, walkin' down the street

He wasn't even shot by Cupid, but your dude's a groupie, uh
You would think it's getting evicted how my booty moving
Yeah, better yet, I need a U-HAUL
One of a kind, I don't do malls
These bitches talk more than group calls
Shut the fuck up with them loose walls
Matter fact, I'm not gon' go back and forth
With you bitches like Duval and Snoop Dogg
These bitches front like a new bra
Don't get your ass dragged like RuPaul
Lil' Sally Walker walkin' down the street
She didn't know what to do so she jumped in front of me
