Christina Mara Aguilera, an American singer, songwriter, actress, and television personality was born on December 18, 1980. She has been dubbed the “Voice of a Generation” because of her four-octave vocal range and capacity for high notes. With her self-titled debut album, Aguilera shot to fame and is credited with inspiring the resurgence of teen pop in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
She is frequently credited as an influence by other artists for her works, which incorporate feminism, sexuality, and domestic violence, and have received both critical acclaim and controversy. Aguilera signed with RCA Records in 1998 after appearing on television shows. Her debut album spawned three number-one Billboard Hot 100 singles — “Genie in a Bottle,” “What a Girl Wants,” and “Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)” — and earned her the Grammy Award for Best New Artist. As a bubblegum pop artist, she released her first Spanish album, Mi Reflejo (2000), which topped the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart for nineteen weeks.
Aguilera took over creative control of her fourth studio album, Stripped (2002). She sparked controversy in the music video for its song “Dirrty” for exploring her sexuality, leading to the departure of her teen idol image. However, her subsequent singles “Beautiful,” “Fighter,” and “Can’t Hold Us Down” all charted in the top ten in a number of countries, and she was named the most successful female artist of 2003. Back to Basics (2006), her fifth album received positive reviews and became the second of her career to debut at the top of the Billboard 200. Its singles “Ain’t No Other Man” and “Hurt” charted in the top ten in the majority of countries. Aguilera appeared in the 2010 film Burlesque and contributed to the soundtrack. In the following years, she appeared on the hit singles “Feel This Moment,” “Say Something,” and “Moves Like Jagger.” The latter peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, making Aguilera one of the few artists to do so in three decades. Aside from music, she has been a spokesperson for the World Food Program (WFP), a coach on the reality competition show The Voice (2011-2016), and an actor in the drama series Nashville. Christina Aguilera: The Xperience, her first residency show at Planet Hollywood Las Vegas, premiered in 2019.
