  1. Back to Basics

    Back to Basics is the fifth studio album by American recording artist Christina Aguilera, released on August 10, 2006 by RCA Records. Looking to transition from the provocative image of her fourth album Stripped, Aguilera wanted to make a "a throwback to the 20s, 30s, and 40s-style jazz, blues, and feel-good soul music, but with a modern twist". As executive producer, she enlisted collaborators including DJ Premier, Rich Harrison, Kwamé, Mark Ronson, and Linda Perry. Upon its release, Back to Basics received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who complimented its musical diversity from Aguilera's previous albums, while also criticizing its length. The album debuted atop the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 346,000 copies. Consequentially, it became her second non-consecutive number one album after her debut release Christina Aguilera and the best-selling debut week of her career. It was later certified platinum for shipments of one million units by the Recording Industry Association of America, and has sold over 1.7 million copies. Internationally, the album debuted with 615,000 units, and has since sold 4.5 million copies worldwide. It was later certified platinum in Europe and double platinum in Australia and Canada. The album received a nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 2007 Grammy Awards and won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for its lead single "Ain't No Other Man".
