Honey to the B is the platinum-selling debut album by the pop singer Billie Piper. Released 19 October 1998, it includes the record-breaking single "Because We Want To", which upon its release made Billie (who initially went by this mononym) the first and youngest British female artist to have a debut single enter the UK pop charts at #1.
In addition to "Because We Want To", Honey to the B spawned three further hit singles: "Girlfriend" (Billie's second #1, September 1998), "She Wants You" (#3, December 1998), and title track "Honey to the Bee" (#3, March 1999).
The single "Honey to the Bee" was later covered by the Swedish girl group Play on their 2003 album, Replay. It also belatedly re-entered the official UK Singles Chart at #17 on 21 January 2007, eight years after initial release, thanks to BBC Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles who used it as part of an experiment to test out the new UK Singles Chart rules that came into effect that month.
The American version of the album differs in that it contains the radio mix of "Girlfriend".
As of July 2013, the album has sold 380,000 copies in the UK.
