To date, New Edition has released seven studio albums, two holiday albums, eight compilation albums, and 29 singles, two of which were singles, all of which were successful.

Personal life

Bell married actress Amy Correa in 2004, in a double wedding with Tresvant. In the mid-1990s, Bell battled substance abuse. Bell consumed marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, alcohol and Oxycontin.
