Avril Lavigne's COMPLICATED Turns 20!It's hard to believe but it's already been two whole decades since a then-unknown Avril Lavigne made her musical debut with what would become the pop smash "Complicated," released on this day in 2002! The angsty guitar-driven tune about fake friends was the lead offering from her debut studio album Let Go, released later that June. The platinum-selling single ended up becoming one of Avril's most successful tracks to date, peaking at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as securing 2 Grammy nominations and a JUNO Award for "Single of the Year". Fans may also remember its accompanying iconic music video won Avril her first ever award, which was the MTV VMA for "Best New Artist." And it was even re-worked into a parody song by "Weird Al" Yankovic in 2003! Yes, the music world would certainly never be the same again after the Napanee native skated onto the scene and uttered the now-famous phrase, "Dude, wanna crash the mall?" Happy 20 years to the song that started it all - "Complicated"!
