However, the release of Let Go was pretty Complicated, to say the least. Having been signed to Arista Records, Lavigne reportedly was in conflict with the label due to musical direction, as they saw her as a Faith Hill-type singer.

However, a pairing with production team The Matrix saw Avril's vision through and proved that her desired style wasn't Too Much To Ask.

Good thing they did, too, as the album has been certified as seven-times Platinum in the United States - and is certified as Diamond in Canada. In the UK, Avril Lavigne became the youngest female solo artist to have a number-one album in the region.

The Grammy-nominated album features hit singles Sk8er Boi, Complicated, Losing Grip, Mobile, Nobody's Fool and I'm With You. In fact, the album wasn't just nominated for one Grammy, but saw Avril nominated for five Grammys in 2003, the year following its release.

Avril Lavigne's Let Go officially turns 20 years old on 4 June, having been recorded between May 2001 and March 2002 - and if there's one thing you can say about the album, it's that it's Anything But Ordinary.
