Christina Aguilera | Christina Aguilera (1999)
17 January 2008 // 7:03 PM
Christina Aguilera's self-titled debut album came at a time when blonde pop tarts were reigning over the music industry. Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson were receiving huge airplay on radio and television and selling millions of records and RCA thought they had something with a young Christina.
The album surpassed industry expectations when it debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 Album charts thanks to the help of her single "Genie in a Bottle," which had already spent five weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 prior to the release of the album. The number-one single and the number-one album made her the first new female artist since Britney Spears earlier that year to have both her debut single and debut album reach number one, and because of that, Christina was immediately labeled Britney's rival.
The album proved to have some longevity as it stayed in the top fifteen throughout the 1999 holiday season, even working its way back into the top five thanks to its second single "What a Girl Wants" which had topped the charts by the end of 1999. As the year closed, Aguilera's debut album had already sold four million copies, and by the end of 1999, Aguilera had already become a household name.
In February 2000, she won Best New Artist at the 2000 Grammy Awards. The Grammy win and the continuing success of "What a Girl Wants" propelled the album back into the Top 5 in the US, and by the end of February 2000, Aguilera's debut album had already gone 6x platinum.
A re-release of the album coincided with the release of her fourth single, "Come on over Baby (All I Want Is You)", which became her third US #1 and helped her album reach a certification of 8x platinum by the end of the year.
