Pop sensation Christina Aguilera recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of her self-titled debut album, marking history in her illustrious career.

Having risen from her early days as a child star on The Mickey Mouse Club, Aguilera burst onto the pop scene in 1999 with hit singles like “Genie in a Bottle” and “What a Girl Wants.”

Aguilera’s powerful vocals and ability to captivate both radio and MTV’s Total Request Live audience quickly made her a prominent figure in the class of 1999, alongside other pop icons like Britney Spears and NSYNC. Over the years, Aguilera’s versatility and vocal prowess have cemented her legacy as one of the defining artists of her generation, making her 25-year journey all the more remarkable.

“I knew I wanted to make an album that would showcase my vocal ability and express who I was as an artist. It was important for me to bring my own flavor to the pop scene,” Aguilera said.

The special edition of Christina Aguilera on Spotify includes remastered versions of all the original tracks, plus bonus remixes of fan favorites like “What a Girl Wants” featuring Sabrina Carpenter, “Come on Over (All I Want Is You),” and “Genie in a Bottle” featuring MGK.
