See where the artist ranks among remaining singers
At 19,34 million equivalent album sales, Let Go is clearly one of the most successful albums from the 00s. There may be some frustration in seeing both Under My Skin and The Best Damn Thing under 10 million, but over 9 million three times in a row is no easy feat. Often regarded as a one-album wonder nowadays, the figures prove that Lavigne was a terrific seller for 3 successive campaigns.
Goodbye Lullaby and Avril Lavigne show a decline that can’t be contested, but their figures aren’t as chaotic as they were upon release. They close in on 3,6 million and 1,6 million respectively, not big nor consistent, but not irrelevant either. The positive indicator for the singer is that all her albums are solid on streaming platforms which means her fans can hope her upcoming records will not automatically bomb, plus her catalog is going to increase steadily in the future.
Her five albums together, along with the few orphan tracks released sparingly, add for 43,06 million equivalent album sales. This puts her in the same league as the likes of Christina Aguilera, Lady Gaga and Norah Jones. All the aforementioned artists are on 50 million equivalent album sales in total, but also all with slightly larger discographies.
The following pages list her most successful songs as well as her records and achievements.

What’s wrong with this place? First, they took sales away from P! Nk and now they took 1 million from Avril Lavigne ??? With what credibility do they want to be seen if they even have the albums Head Above Water and Love Sux changed places, they don’t update their sales to the letter. The sales they show for Head Above Water are the same as they did in 2019 as if they had removed the album from everywhere after 2019. Correct your mistakes. 1 month ago Let Go had 20.5 million and now 19.3? This is a fraud and… Read more »
