She has won 7 Grammy Awards. The RIAA named Braxton as one of the top selling R&B artists of all time.
She first burst onto the scene in 1992 on the Boomerang soundtrack, after Anita Baker turned down the opportunity. In 1993 Toni released her self-titled debut album, which stayed at the top of the charts for a year and was a critically acclaimed album.
Toni released her sophomore effort, Secrets in 1996 which also did very well on both R&B and Pop charts. From that album Toni got two #1 hits; "You're Making Me High "and "Unbreak My Heart", which spent 14 consecutive weeks at #1 on the Billboard top 100, and was a worldwide hit. After 5 Grammy awards and a little break, Toni Braxton came back strong with her 2000 album The Heat. Though not as successful as her first two albums, The Heat went on to sell 4 million copies and spawned the huge hits "He Wasn't Man Enough"and "Just Be A Man About It".
Toni has released two further albums, 2002's More Than a Woman and 2005's Libra. Toni's sixth studio album Pulse was released in May 2010 via Atlantic Records. The singles "Yesterday" and "Hands Tied" were the biggest hits. Subsequent singles to be released from "Pulse" include "Make My Heart" and "Woman."
In January 2011, the WE Television Network confirmed that it had signed Toni and the rest of the Braxton family for a reality series, Braxton Family Values, which will be marketed as one of the network's flagship shows. The series debuted April 12, 2011, and looks at the relationship between Toni, her mother, and her four sisters; Trina, Tamar, Traci and Towanda β all aspiring singers themselves β along with the interpersonal relationships of each family member. The show also looked at Braxton's heavily publicized separation from estranged husband, singer Keri Lewis. Toni parted ways with her long time manager Vincent Herbert (who was also the husband of sister Tamar Braxton at the time), and signed a new management deal with Los Angeles-based entertainment/production company 'The Collective'.
In 2014, Toni released a collaborative album with Babyface entitled Love, Marriage & Divorce; primarily inspired by their individual divorces (Toni with Keri, and Babyface with Tracey Edmonds). The album was supported by the singles "Hurt You", "Where Did We Go Wrong" and "Roller Coaster"; and won Best R&B Album in the 57th Annual Grammy Awards (2015).
Toni's long-awaited eighth album Sex & Cigarettes was released on Def Jam in March 2018, which was supported by the singles "Deadwood", "Long as I Live" and "FOH". The album also featured a sole guest appearance from singer Colbie Caillat, and was nominated for three Grammy Awards, including Best R&B Album in the 61st awards ceremony (2019).
Signing to Island Records in 2020, Toni released her ninth album Spell My Name in August 2020, featuring collaborations with H.E.R. & Missy Elliott. The album was released to positive reception, but was her lowest-charting album yet, peaking at #163 on the Billboard 200.

Saturday Night
Toni Braxton Lyrics
You know I love you but your loving is so terrifying
Timing really is a bitch
Who'da thought that stars were so perfectly aligned can
Double, change and fall and switch?
And I don't wanna leave
But if I have to make my way
You are everything
But I don't think I can stay
All alone on a Saturday night
In a city screaming loud outside, and you
Know what I wanna do (ooh, oh)
I know you're wrong for me
But I don't care, 'cause I just wanna do
Bad things to you tonight (ooh, oh)
Tonight (ooh, oh, ooh, oh)
You and I are like a crazy stupid raging fire
On the line and set to flames
You call me crazy, baby, but you're just a goddamn liar
But I swear it feels so safe
And I don't wanna to leave
But if I have to make my way
You are everything
But I don't think I can stay
All alone on a Saturday night
In a city screaming loud outside, and you
Know what I wanna do (ooh, oh)
I know you're wrong for me
But I don't care, 'cause I just wanna do
Bad things to you tonight (ooh, oh)
Tonight (ooh, oh)
I scream I hate you, you scream you hate me
But I love, but I love you, hey
And like we're seventeen again
We know this love will never end
And I can't go on
All alone on a Saturday night
In a city screaming loud outside, and you
Know what I wanna do (ooh, oh)
I know you're wrong for me
But I don't care, 'cause I just wanna do
Bad things to you tonight (yeah, oh)
Tonight (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Tonight (yeah)
Damn it's Saturday night, ohh oh, oh, ohh
Timing really is a bitch
Who'da thought that stars were so perfectly aligned can
Double, change and fall and switch?
And I don't wanna leave
But if I have to make my way
You are everything
But I don't think I can stay
In a city screaming loud outside, and you
Know what I wanna do (ooh, oh)
I know you're wrong for me
But I don't care, 'cause I just wanna do
Bad things to you tonight (ooh, oh)
Tonight (ooh, oh, ooh, oh)
You and I are like a crazy stupid raging fire
On the line and set to flames
You call me crazy, baby, but you're just a goddamn liar
But I swear it feels so safe
And I don't wanna to leave
But if I have to make my way
You are everything
But I don't think I can stay
All alone on a Saturday night
In a city screaming loud outside, and you
Know what I wanna do (ooh, oh)
I know you're wrong for me
But I don't care, 'cause I just wanna do
Bad things to you tonight (ooh, oh)
Tonight (ooh, oh)
I scream I hate you, you scream you hate me
But I love, but I love you, hey
And like we're seventeen again
We know this love will never end
And I can't go on
All alone on a Saturday night
In a city screaming loud outside, and you
Know what I wanna do (ooh, oh)
I know you're wrong for me
But I don't care, 'cause I just wanna do
Bad things to you tonight (yeah, oh)
Tonight (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Tonight (yeah)
Damn it's Saturday night, ohh oh, oh, ohh

"Saturday Night"
You know I love you but my loving is so terrifying
Timing really is a bitch
Who'da thought that stars that were so perfectly aligned can
Double, change and fall and switch?
And I don't wanna leave
But if I have to make my way
You are everything
But I don't think I can stay
All alone on a Saturday night in a city screaming loud outside
And you know what I wanna do
I know you're wrong for me
But I don't care, 'cause I just wanna do
Bad things to you tonight (Ooh, ooh)
Tonight (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
You and I are like a crazy stupid raging fire
On the line and set to flames
You call me crazy, baby, but you're just a goddamn liar
But I swear it feels so safe
And I don't wanna to leave
But if I have to make my way
You are everything
But I don't think I can stay
All alone on a Saturday night in a city screaming loud outside
And you know what I wanna do
I know you're wrong for me
But I don't care, 'cause I just wanna do
Bad things to you tonight (Ooh, ooh)
Tonight (Ooh, ooh)
I scream I hate you, you scream you hate
But I love, but I love you, hey
And like we're 17 again, we know this love will never end
But I can't go on
Alone on a Saturday night in a city screaming loud outside
And you know what I wanna do
I know you're wrong for me
But I don't care, 'cause I just wanna do
Bad things to you tonight
Yeah, yeah, oh, tonight
Oh, oh, oh, oh tonight
Yeah, damn it's Saturday night

I need Toni to make a video for this EXCELLENT song and for Island Records to promote it by getting it some key placements on TV and hopefully film too. "Gotta Move On" from the same album* recently became her 11th No. 1 Adult R&B hit, and I think this could be another.
Of course it DESERVES to return her to the top of the main R&B chart and the Hot 100, and I am an optimist. But I'm realistic about how radio unfairly puts many artists out to pasture as singles acts once they pass their early 30s. They give them little to no play regardless of how great their new songs are.
Meanwhile they constantly play the same songs by younger acts over and over, which ends up cheating the listeners. An example is the lack of radio play for Usher's masterful 2016 single "Crash," which had a video showing that in his late 30s, he still had it dancing-wise.
*SPELL MY NAME's first single "Do It" was her 9th, and her 10th was the Kem duet "Live Out Your Love" from his LOVE ALWAYS WINS album.

Toni always has me in my feelings about my imaginary boyfriend. Nobody makes music like her at all and they never will.
