Ciara, "Body Party" (2013) - Artists are no strangers to stirring up controversy or getting our attention. And one quick way to do just that is with a great album cover (okay, and one single too). Let's reminisce on the album covers that made us do a double take. For her sultry single "Body Party," Ciara went for an equally sultry cover. The pic features the 27-year-old showing off much of her toned body while keeping her goodies covered under a sheet. By Patrice J. Williams (Photo: Epic Records)

Grace Jones, Island Life (1985) - For her album Island Life, the edgy Grace Jones pushed the envelope and struck a mean pose while holding a microphone. The look was so iconic that Amber Rose recreated it more than 20 years later. (Photo: Island Records)

Kanye West, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010) - In what could be defined as steamy and strange, Kanye West took to Twitter to show the world the album cover he said was banned.

Trey Songz, Ready (2009) - For his album Ready, Trey gave us abs and ink. But with songs like "Neighbors Know My Name" and "I Invented Sex," we get why a T-shirt wasn't necessary. (Photo: Atlantic Records)
