No1 (pronounced "Number one"; stylized as №1) is the debut studio album by Serbian recording artist Nikolija. It was released through City Records on 20 October 2016, which was a day after Nikolija's 27th birthday and about one month and a week after she had given birth to her first daughter. The album includes seven songs from the beginning of her career and three new ones: "101 propušteni poziv", "Plavo more" and "Pucaj zbog nas". It features guest appearance from the rap duo Elitni Odredi.

No1 was sold in 50,000 copies.[7] Furthermore, all the tracks are accompanied by a music video, which have collectively amassed over 200 million views on YouTube, as of October 2021.

Background

Nikolija officially began her music career with the release of her first single, "Ćao Zdravo", featuring Techa on 9 April 2013. It was followed by "Nikolija" in November. The following year, she released "Alkohola litar" with Elitni Odredi and "Kako posle mene" in August and October, respectively. With over 70 million views, "Alkohola litar" remains Nikolija's highest perfuming music video. Her forthcoming single, "Opasna igra", released in August 2015, was also declared the most viewed Serbian video on YouTube of that year.[8]

In January 2016, while promoting "Ljubavni maneken", Nikolija revealed that she had recorded three news songs which were supposed to be included to her debut album.[9] On 14 October, she released "101 propušteni poziv", "Plavo more" and "Pucaj zbog nas".[10]
