Brandy also appeared in the hugely popular television show Moesha, and her second album was recorded during breaks from filming. Her spiky duet with fellow soul singer Monica on 1998's "The Boy Is Mine" was a huge-selling US number 1, spending 13 weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming the all-time number one female duet in US chart history. The single also reached number 2 in the UK and sold over 3 million copies worldwide. The attendant number 2 album, Never Say Never, was disappointingly bland, but follow-up single, "Top Of The World" (featuring a guest appearance from Ma$e) was another transatlantic hit single (UK number 2, October 1998). "Have You Ever?", written by Diane Warren, topped the Hot 100 in January 1999. The same year, Brandy made her acting debut in the horror movie I Still Know What You Did Last Summer. She returned to the music scene in 2002 with the Rodney Jerkins-produced transatlantic hit single "What About Us?". The jarring rhythms of the single were sadly absent on the mundane Full Moon. Afrodisiac followed afterwards, releasing in June 2004.
