2009: move to Beluga Heights / worldwide breakthrough
Before an album was released, Derulo switched to the Beluga Heights label of the successful producer JR Rotem . Further publications did not bring the hoped-for breakthrough either, so the release of an album, the planned title Future History , was postponed.
In 2009 another offensive was started together with the major label Warner . The song Whatcha Say was released with great announcement . The song was produced by JR Rotem and the German producer Fuego and uses a sample from the Imogen Heap song Hide and Seek . This time the desired success occurred, and in November 2009 the song reached number 1 on the US charts. For the song Ridin 'Solo , which reached number 9 in the US charts, he uses the sample from The Verve song Bitter Sweet Symphony . On the GoodMusicCharts this song was ranked number 1 and stayed there for ten weeks. On September 30, 2013, Ridin 'Solo was able to place in the top 10 again after 53 weeks.

In July 2012 the Platinum Edition of Future History was released , which contains a second CD with remixes of all songs that have been released as single up to now, and thus practically represents a double album of Future History and Reloaded .
