Nine Track Mind is the debut studio album by American singer Charlie Puth. It was released on January 29, 2016, by Atlantic Records, after being scheduled to be released on November 6, 2015.[1] Puth has produced throughout the album.[3]

The album's lead single, "Marvin Gaye" featuring Meghan Trainor, was released on February 10, 2015.

On May 24, 2016, Puth released the third single "We Don't Talk Anymore", featuring Selena Gomez. The song has peaked at number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The album peaked at number 6 on the Billboard 200, however, it received negative reviews from critics with a score of 37 out of 100 on Metacritic becoming the 7th worst reviewed album on the site.

The finalized track listing was revealed on December 11, 2015.[4] The final tracklist removed the tracks "Know Your Name" and "Hard" and replaced them with "Dangerously" and "We Don't Talk Anymore". "I Won't Tell A Soul" was also due for inclusion on the Japanese edition, but was subsequently removed. Puth embarked on his Nine Track Mind Tour in March 2016.[5]

Nine Track Mind received generally negative reviews from music critics. On Metacritic, which assigns a rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album gained an average score of 37, based on 7 reviews, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews," making it the 7th worst reviewed album on the website.[8][17] The Guardian's Rachel Aroesti gave Nine Track Mind three out of five stars, saying, "the standard of his songwriting is consistently high, and his central theme — romantic obsession that verges on the masochistic — makes for a record that softly burns."[2] In a negative review for Pitchfork Media, Jia Tolentino — recognizing Puth's talent and "considerable abilities" — wrote that "the album's emotional range covers the spectrum from light longing to light infatuation, contributing to the overall sense that Nine Track Mind is aimed exclusively at hairlessness: children, prepubescents, the discomfitingly waxed."[14]
