Christina Aguilera is the self-titled debut studio album by American pop singer Christina Aguilera released on August 24, 1999 in the United States by RCA Records. The album became a worldwide commercial success, making Aguilera a worldwide star with her breakthrough hit single "Genie in a Bottle", as well as the later singles "What a Girl Wants", "I Turn to You", and "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)". "Genie in a Bottle" peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The album's second single, "What a Girl Wants" and fourth single, "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)" also peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. "Genie in a Bottle" stayed at number one for five weeks due to strong airplay and physical CD sales, leading Aguilera's debut record to worldwide success. Aguilera garnered three number ones in the United States and three top 10 hits in the United Kingdom. It also featured the song she recorded a year earlier for the Mulan soundtrack, "Reflection". Billboard ranked "Christina Aguilera" at number 23 on the magazine's Top 200 Albums of the Decade. The album has sold 17 million copies worldwide.

Background

The album's lyrics focused primarily on youthful themes, such as love, parties, and joy. Christina Aguilera is foremost a pop and R&B album. The self-entitled album also consisted of Latin inspired tracks, such as the number one hit "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)", in which Aguilera showed off her Ecuadorian roots.

"Obvious", the final track on the album, was one of the original demo tracks that was sent to Ron Fair before Aguilera was signed with her record label, RCA.^[1] 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, Aguilera was immediately labeled Spears' rival. In 2000, Aguilera continued to promote her debut album. Her management had announced that she would headline her own U.S. tour after she opened up for TLC back in 1999. In February 2000, she won Best New Artist at the 2000 Grammy Awards, over her fellow nominees including Britney Spears and Macy Gray. The Grammy win, and the continuing success of her number one hit "What a Girl Wants", propelled her album back into the top five on the Billboard Top 200 Album Charts, and by the end of February 2000, Aguilera's debut album had already gone six times platinum.^[2] In 2007, The National Association of Recording Merchandisers and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame released a list of what they term "The Definitive 200 Albums of All Time"; Christina Aguilera ranks at number 127 on the list.^[3]

The self-entitled debut album of Christina Aguilera received mixed reviews. Allmusic gave it 4 out of 5 stars, saying " The songwriting is strong — the ballads are engaging, the dance numbers are catchy — the production is clean and uncluttered, letting Aguilera's voice take the foreground. Most impressively, she not only has charisma, she can actually sing, bringing conviction to these love and heartbreak songs." Entertainment Weekly gave the album a B-, saying "A frustratingly erratic album -- She's Tiffany! She's Whitney! -- Christina still makes a credible bid to be the late-summer soundtrack to romantic rebound". Amazon, based on reviews, gave Christina a 4.5 out of 5.^[8]

Commercial performance

The album surpassed industry expectations when it debuted at number one 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 number one on the Billboard Hot 100 prior to the release of the album. The album sold 252,000 copies the first week of release, beating out big competition by Sean "Puffy" Combs, whose second album Forever was expected to debut at number one. 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.^[9] By the end of 1999, Aguilera had already become a household name in the United States for various reasons, mostly because of her sexual yet innocent image which the media never grew tired of discussing. The album stayed on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart for 78 weeks, 107 weeks on the UK albums charts and 70 weeks on the Canadian Albums Chart. Aguilera's Grammy Award nominations, two back to back number-one singles, magazine gossip, and merchandise released under her name made her the "It girl" as she opened the new millennium with Carson Daly on MTV's New Year's Eve Bash.

As the year closed, Aguilera's debut album had already sold in excess of eight million copies in the U.S., becoming one of the best-selling albums of the year according to Nielsen Soundscan.^[10][11] As of December 2009, the album has sold 8,207,000 copies in the U.S. according to Nielsen SoundScan, which does not count albums sold through clubs like the BMG Music.^[12] Combined, it has sold over 9,142,000 copies in the U.S. with additional 935,000 copies sold at BMG Music Clubs.^[13] Nielsen SoundScan does not count albums sold through clubs like the BMG Music Service, which were significantly popular in the 1990s.^[14] In July 2001, the CRIA certified Christina Aguilera six times platinum, for exceeding sales of over 600,000 in Canada.^[15] The album was certified platinum by the IFPI for shipping one million copies in Europe.^[16] The album stayed on the UK charts for 107 weeks. It reached #21 on the Australian charts, certified Platinum for 70,000 sales.^[17] The album was certified platinum in New Zealand, selling over 15,000 copies.^[18][19]

Singles

• "Genie in a Bottle" was the first single of the album, released on June 22, 1999. It became one of Aguilera's biggest charting singles, getting certified platinum by the RIAA. The song became an overnight hit, making it Aguilera's first number one single. It topped the charts for five weeks straight on Billboard Hot 100 due to strong Physical CD sales and airplay, having the longest stay at number one that year. The single made airplay history, becoming one of the most successful airplay-only singles. It charted within the top five in every country it was released in.
• "What a Girl Wants" was the second single from the album. Released on December 28, 1999, the single peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on January 15, 2000 for two weeks, becoming Aguilera's second number-one single. In the U.S., it became the first #1 single of the decade of the 2000s. The single also peaked at number three in the UK and at number five in Australia. The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot 100 Singles Sales charts for two weeks, and peaked at number two on the Hot 100 Airplay; the single's strong sales would later assure it a gold certification. Once again, the song was an all-around huge hit, topping the Top 40 Tracks, Top 40 Mainstream and Rhythmic Top 40 charts. As the new version of the song was not on the original album, the album was re-released with the video version of the new version replacing the original version.
• "I Turn to You" was the third single form the album, released on April 1, 2000 to U.S radio. The single peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 4 weeks, becoming Aguilera's Third Top 10 hit. The single also peaked at #19 in the UK and #40 in Australia. The music video was directed by Richard C. Allen.
• "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)" was released on September 26, 2000 as the album's the fourth and final single, becoming Aguilera's third number-one hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and the RIAA eventually certified the single gold. It spent four weeks at the top, from October 8 to November 4, 2000. It spent twenty-one weeks on the Hot 100, and ranked thirty-eight on the Hot 100's 2000 year-end charts. The Spanish-language version of the single, "Ven Conmigo (Solamente Tú)", sticking to the original arrangement, was also a huge Latin music success, becoming Aguilera's first number-one single on Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks chart, and reaching #1 as well in Spain. "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)" reached the top ten in the UK, Japan and Australia and the top twenty in Canada respectively.

Release

"Genie in a Bottle", the first single and track of the album, became one of the biggest hits of Aguilera's career, reaching number one on Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks, becoming Aguilera's first number-one single. The single also peaked at number one in the UK, also becoming her first number-one single in that country. The single earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 2000 and helped her win the Best New Artist Grammy that same year. The song's lyrics caused minor controversy at the time, as it was felt by some that Aguilera was too young to be singing such relatively suggestive lyrics, particularly as her music was marketed to young girls. The song was censored in some markets with tamer lyrics, in which Aguilera sings "you gotta treat me the right way" (instead of "you gotta rub me the right way"). The censored version was played in preteen-oriented markets such as Radio Disney. Strong sales led the single to a platinum certification.^[20] "What a Girl Wants", the next released track of the album, became an international success, making it Aguilera's second number one single on Billboard Hot 100 and her second number one on the Worldwide Singles charts. The single also peaked at number three in the UK and at number five in Australia. Often considered one of her signature songs, the single is most known for establishing Aguilera's placement in the music industry. The single earned her five MTV Video Music Awards nominations; Best Female Video, Best New Artist, Best Pop Video, Viewer's Choice, and Best Choreography (Tina Landon), and also a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 2001. The third single, "I Turn to You", a pop ballad produced by Guy Roche, peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 4 weeks, becoming Aguilera's third Top 10 hit. The single also peaked at #19 in the UK and #40 in Australia. The fourth single, "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)", became an instant hit in America, reaching number one on Billboard Hot 100. It spent four weeks at the top, from October 8 to November 4, 2000. The video also became Aguilera's most popular video to date, becoming a huge #1 hit on TRL and receiving strong airplay on MTV, VH1, and even Disney and Nickeoldeon. In total, three versions of the album were released. The original version, released in August 1999, contained the original album versions of both "What A Girl Wants" and "Come On Over (All I Want Is You)". When "What A Girl Wants" was remixed and released as a single, the album was then reissued in early 2000 with the song's well-known single mix replacing the original album mix. Finally, when "Come On Over (All I Want Is You)" was reworked and released as a single in late 2000, the album was then further reissued with the single mix of "What A Girl Wants", as well as the reworked single mix of "Come On Over (All I Want Is You)" (titled "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)"). This version of the album is the version currently available.

Promotion

Main article: Christina Aguilera: In Concert

Aguilera made many appearances on talk shows in order to promote her self-entitled debut album. Aguilera appeared on shows such as The Rosie O'Donnell Show and TRL. Aguilera also began traveling to New Zealand while What a Girl Wants was topping the charts overseas. In 1999, Christina Aguilera and her peers Britney Spears and *NSYNC performed at the 1999 Teen Choice Awards. Aguilera also attended the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards where she and Fred Durst performed together. Durst walked onstage and performed part of his band's song "Livin' It Up" with Aguilera. After eliciting charged reactions from his fans, Durst stated: "I already told you guys before, I did it all for the nookie, man." The feud died weeks later. Aguilera denied Durst's statement, saying Durst "got no nookie." Later on in 2000, Aguilera performed at the Super Bowl XXXIV as a halftime performer. Aguilera performed her number one single Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You) at the 2000 VMA's. While performing, Aguilera was wearing a tight ruby red outfit with black and red streaks in her hair like they previously were in her Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You) video. Aguilera also appeared at the MTV Europe Music Awards 1999.

The tour was sponsored by the famous American brands of Sears and Levi's. When it was announced, Aguilera was promoting "I Turn to You", third single from her first album; she was concurrently in the phase of production of her upcoming album Mi Reflejo.^[21] The first month of the tour and a few other shows was a state fair tour that featured a simpler stage set. At the same time, Aguilera began wearing much more revealing outfits and began putting different colors into her hair, as she transitioned from her teen pop star to a more mature image. The tour had 68 dates in total.
