She has also often been compared with singers like Vanessa Carlton and Michelle Branch, who emerged at about the same time and were popularly credited, with Lavigne, as part of a trend towards more earnestness and genuine creativity in an often vacuous and pre-fabricated teen pop music market. The media has often compared her to Alanis Morissette, though she has been criticized for not being as strong a lyricist as Morissette at the same age. Weird Al Yankovic did a parody of 'Complicated' on his Poodle Hat album-a sure sign of her impact on popular culture. 'Mobile' reached the top ten in Taiwan and went top 40 in New Zealand.'Losing Grip' reached #1 in Canada, #10 Taiwan, #20 Chile and top 50 on a composite European chart and.'I'm With You' reached #1 on the US and world adult charts (based on the US, UK, Canada, Germany, France and Australia) Taiwan and Canada and #4 on the Billboard Hot 100.'Sk8er Boi' ( txt for Skater Boy) went top 10 in the US and Australia and top 30 in Canada.'Complicated' went to #1 on the US adult charts and in Australia while reaching #2 on the Billboard Hot 100.Let Go spawned 5 hit singles (the first 3 with The Matrix), in various parts of the world: In the U.K., Lavigne was the youngest female artist ever to have a number one album, although this record was later broken by Joss Stone. She also has been nominated for eight Grammy Awards but has not won any to date.Īs of June 2004, Let Go had sold 14 million albums and reached the number one spot in the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada and #2 in the US. She was named 'Best New Artist' at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards and at the 2003 Juno Awards, where she led all musicians with six nominations, winning four Junos. Her first album, Let Go, was released by Arista on June 4, 2002, and was certified 'Quadruple Platinum' less than six months later by the Recording Industry Association of America. Apparently, early attempts to co-write songs for her failed to meet her approval, and she eventually moved to Los Angeles, California and co-wrote her album with Clif Magness and songwriting team The Matrix, whose previous work included songs for Sheena Easton and Christina Aguilera.
