On October 10, 1999, Christina Aguilera burst onto the scene and took her first UK number one with track 'Genie In A Bottle', remaining at number one on the US charts for five consecutive weeks, and snatching the Grammy Award for Best New Artist in the same year.
Throwback Thursday
With some of the most powerful and beautiful vocals in the industry, Christina went from strength to strength with hit tracks including 'Beautiful', 'Dirrrty' and 'Candyman'.
she can now be seen on the coaching panel of America's 'The Voice', where she helps pull in some of the biggest viewing figures that Stateside talent shows have seen.
Aguilera's last two albums - 'Bionic' and 'Lotus' - have failed to do as well as they should have, but it'd be difficult to imagine a musical world without the influential pop star.
