Christina Aguilera (album)

Christina Aguilera is the debut studio album by American singer Christina Aguilera. It was released on August 24, 1999, by RCA Records. After recording "Reflection", the theme song for the 1998 Disney film Mulan, RCA laid the foundation for the album immediately and started presenting Aguilera with tracks for her debut album, which they originally decided would have a January 1999 release. Primarily a dance-pop and teen pop album, its music incorporates bubblegum pop, R&B, soul, hip hop, as well as ballads. Contributions to the album's production came from a wide range of producers, including Johan Åberg, David Frank, Ron Fair, Guy Roche, Robin Thicke, Matthew Wilder and Aaron Zigman.

The album received positive reviews, with critics praising Aguilera's vocal performance and technique. It debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 253,000 copies. The album was certified octuple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and has sold over nine million copies in the US, and is among the best-selling albums by women. The album remains Aguilera's best-selling album, with sales of over 14 million copies worldwide. Christina Aguilera reached the Top 10 in Canada, New Zealand, Switzerland, Spain, and South Africa. It earned Aguilera the Grammy Award for Best New Artist at the 42nd Annual Grammy Awards.

The album spawned four hit singles; "Genie in a Bottle", "What a Girl Wants" and "Come on Over Baby (All I Want is You)", all topped the US Billboard Hot 100, with the former single also reaching number one in 20 additional countries; while the album's third single "I Turn to You" also reached number three on the Hot 100 chart. Furthermore, Aguilera embarked on her debut headlining concert tour in 2000. The album was later included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
