Tracing Christina Aguilera's music career
Christina Aguilera was born on December 18, 1980 and began exhibiting musical talents early in her life, after discovering her passion for music through her grandmother's collection of records.
The singer released her eponymously titled debut studio album, Christina Aguilera, on August 24, 1999. The multi-platinum certified album remains her most successful music record till date in terms of sales.
Her debut success was followed by two other albums, including her first Christmas album. Both albums were highly successful, with multi-platinum certifications for the former and a platinum certification for the latter.
Subsequently, she released her landmark album, Stripped, on October 26, 2002. The multi-platinum certified album was a major success, peaking at number 2 on the Billboard 200, Irish and UK album charts.
Speaking about the album in an exclusive interview with MTV News in 2002, the singer stated:
"I feel like it is a new beginning, a re-introduction of myself as a new artist in a way, because for the first time people are really seeing and getting to know how I really am. I got a chance to show of all these colors and textures of my love of music and of my vocal range."
The singer continued:
"Coming off of the height of being a part of such a big pop-craze phenomenon, that imagery of that cookie-cutter sweetheart, without it being me, I just had to take it all down and get it away from me. And that is why I actually named the album Stripped, because it is about being emotionally stripped down and pretty bare to open my soul and heart."
The last major album success the singer had was her fifth studio album, Back to Basics, which was released on August 11, 2006. The multi-platinum certified album was a chart topper on the Billboard 200, Australian, Canadian, German, Irish, Kiwi and UK album charts, among others.
