20th anniversary edition cover

"Complicated" was released by Arista as the album's lead single, which was seen as an across-all-age-groups introduction to Lavigne. [17] Thought to produce wide cross-demographic appeal, however, the music video for the single features Lavigne and her band wreaking havoc in a mall, "the sort of imagery that might have grown-ups thinking 'Clean that mess up!' more than clamoring for the record." [23] The song topped the charts in several countries and was nominated for two Grammy Awards for Song of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.[ citation needed ]

The second single, "Sk8er Boi", was aimed at pop-punk-oriented kids. [17] The release of "Sk8er Boi" created disagreement among many radio programming directors. However, their impressions were diverted as listeners helped change their minds; early rotation of the single proved successful, showing it was as popular with post-collegiate listeners as with teens. The song reached number one on US mainstream radio. [23]

"I'm with You" was released in late November 2002, close to Christmas holidays to remind parents about the album to, if not to buy it themselves, to purchase it for any children in their family. [17] [23] The song became another success for Lavigne reaching number four in the Billboard Hot 100, number one on mainstream radio and the top 10 in the UK and Canada. It was not officially released in Australia but received radio and television airplay. To date, Let Go is Lavigne's only album to produce multiple top-ten singles in the US. The song was also nominated for two Grammy Awards the same categories as "Complicated". The release arrangement of the album's singles, with "I'm with You" being served as the third, was regarded as "controversial", given that "I'm with You" was "thought by some to be the biggest potential smash on the album", and could have established Lavigne as a more mature artist if it was released first. [23] According to Reid, "Some people just really didn't get that. And with the first video, there was some concern that maybe because it's so young and so playful, it might alienate more serious music lovers." [23]

"Losing Grip" was released as the fourth single from the album, "to act as a bridge into her next album", which Lavigne stated would be "harder-rocking" than her debut. [23] In 2004, it was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. [27]

"Mobile" was released in New Zealand in May 2003, as the fifth single. It was later used in 2003's The Medallion , the 2004 film Wimbledon , and a brief appearance in the film Just Married . In 2011, a music video for the song leaked onto the Internet made from official footage that was never finished.[ citation needed ]

"Nobody's Fool" was released as the sixth and final single when it was sent to the radio in January 2005, almost two years after the previous single from Let Go, and after the release of Lavigne's second studio album, Under My Skin .[ citation needed ]

Other songs were released as regional radio-only singles. "Things I'll Never Say" was released as a radio-only single in Italy. "Unwanted" was released as a promotional single in the United Kingdom.[ citation needed ] The song "Tomorrow" was played in one episode of the second season of the television series Smallville and the first season of the television series The Last of Us , while the song "Anything but Ordinary" was played in the third episode of the first season of the television series Birds of Prey .[ citation needed ]

20th anniversary edition

A new edition of Let Go, newly remixed by John Feldmann, was released on 3 June 2022, to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the original album's release. The album contains the different version of the thirteen original tracks plus six bonus tracks.[ citation needed ]

A new recording of "Breakaway" is featured on the re-release. Lavigne originally wrote the song in 2001, then passed it to American singer Kelly Clarkson who recorded it for The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement soundtrack. The original demo version by Lavigne had previously leaked online in 2014. [28] [29] [30]

Let Go received mostly positive responses from critics, earning a metascore of 68 over 100 on Metacritic, which is based on the collated reviews from 9 publications. [36] Rolling Stone magazine's music critic Pat Blashill wrote that the album "comes fully loaded with another dozen infectious hymns of Total Request angst". Blashill complimented Lavigne on having a "great voice", adding she crafted the album with "a qualified staff of hitmakers". [38] Christina Saraceno of AllMusic noted that Lavigne "handles a variety of styles deftly", while also complimenting her as "a capable songwriter with vocal chops". Nonetheless, Saraceno opined that "at her age, one imagines, she is still finding her feet, borrowing from the music she's grown up listening to". [31] John Perry of Blender magazine summarized Let Go into an "outstanding guitar-pop debut". [32] A review in Q magazine praised Lavigne for displaying "a musical guile way beyond her years". [36] Kaj Roth of Melodic felt that Lavigne "sings lovely and some of the songs goes in the Alanis Morissette [ sic ] vein". [34] For Jon Caramanica of Entertainment Weekly magazine (who gave the album a B−), "Lavigne's monochromatic debut set of unimaginative guitar rock is saved only by the earnestness of her songs." [33]

Some reviewers had similar sentiments toward the quality of the lyrics to some songs in the album. Saraceno said that Lavigne "still has some growing up to do lyrically", asserting "Sk8er Boi" shows her "lyrical shortcomings" and calling the phrasing in "Too Much to Ask" "awkward and sometimes silly". [31] Perry noted the lyrics to "Sk8er Boi" as "endearingly naive". [32]

Accolades

The album earned Lavigne numerous awards from organizations around the world. The success of the album's commercial performance led Lavigne to be named Best New Artist at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards. [41] She won three awards—Favorite Female Artist, Favorite Breakthrough Artist, and the Style Award—the most of any performer at the 2003 MTV Asia Awards. [42] She received five nominations for the album at the 2003 Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Album. The album's singles "Complicated" and "I'm with You" were nominated Song of the Year at the 2003 and 2004 ceremony, respectively, accumulating eight nominations for the album. [43] [44] Lavigne was nominated for six categories at the 2003 Juno Awards—which were presented in Ottawa—winning four including Best Album and Best New Artist. [45]

Commercial performance

Let Go was commercially successful in the United States, gaining praise from Entertainment Weekly magazine as one of the biggest pop debut albums of 2002. [23] According to Billboard , as of 2022, Let Go is one of the 15 best-performing 21st-century albums without any of its singles being number-one hits on the Billboard Hot 100. [55] The album debuted on the Billboard 200 at number eight on the strength of 62,000-unit sales and later peaked at number two. Its high debut was fuelled by the success of "Complicated", which was in heavy rotation on MTV. [56] Increasing weekly sales allowed the album to stay inside the chart's top 10 for 37 weeks. [57] The album sold at least 100,000 copies every week straight until late 2002, easily accumulating over 2-million-unit sales. [17] In a December 2002 report by Entertainment Weekly magazine, it was stated that the album had sold 3.9 million copies, becoming the third top-selling album of 2002 in the United States. [58] Year-end figures released by Nielsen SoundScan revealed that Let Go had sold over 4.1 million copies in the United States, accumulated in 30 weeks of the album's release. [59] [60] Let Go was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. [61] This earned Let Go the distinction of being the highest-shipped debut of 2002 and best-selling album by a female artist. [62] On 30 April 2003, the RIAA certified the album six-times platinum, denoting shipments of over six million units. [63] It remains Lavigne's best-selling album to date, with 6.9 million copies sold in the United States and over 16 million worldwide. [64]

Chartwise, the album reached higher peak positions notably during and after the holidays. Following her show-opening performance at the 2002 Billboard Music Awards, Let Go continued to be one of the holiday's top sellers with sales that week of 272,000. [65] It reached its highest sales week on the issue dated 4 January 2003, with 363,000 copies sold. Although it had peaked at number two in September 2002, Let Go rose from three to two on the Billboard 200 on the issue dated 1 February 2003. [66] The increase of sales was the offshoot to Lavigne's appearance on 11 January in Saturday Night Live as the show's musical guest. There were accusations of lip-synching but in an interview at the time she tells she has never lip-sung or ever plans to. During this time also, Lavigne received much media coverage due to her nominations at the 2003 Grammy Awards and for embarking on her first North American tour. [67] In the United Kingdom, the album took longer to reach the summit of the UK Albums Chart. In its 18th week of release, reached on the chart year 2003, the album hit number one, rising to the top spot over the holiday, making Lavigne breaking a record becoming the youngest female singer to top the chart at 17 years and nine months old. However, the record was broken by Joss Stone in October 2004, when her album Mind Body & Soul debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart when she was 17 years and five months old. [68]

The album's international sales upsurge was attributed to the continuing success of "Sk8er Boi". [69] Let Go is the 12th best-selling album of 2003 in the United Kingdom. [70] The album has been certified six-times platinum by the British Phonographic Industry. [71]

Let Go was also selling well in Canada, surpassing sales of over one-million-unit sales in less than a year. The Canadian Recording Industry Association certified the album diamond in May 2003. [72] In Australia, Let Go had been certified seven-times platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association in 2003, based on the sales of over 490,000 units from wholesalers to retailers. [73] The album is the tenth best-selling album of 2002 there, and the third in the following year. Overall, the album charted at number one in six countries and top five in eight countries.[ citation needed ]

Impact and legacy

Let Go was twentieth on Billboard 200 Greatest of All Time Albums by Women. [74] The album is considered one of the albums that transformed the pop-punk music scene, helping to consolidate the genre in the mainstream and contributing to the rise of female-fronted pop-punk bands and female-driven punk-influenced pop music.
