Christina Aguilera has expressed a deep sense of gratitude on the 25th anniversary of her debut studio album.

The self-titled set arrived on August 24, 1999 and is the home to classics such as ‘Genie in a Bottle,’ ‘What a Girl Wants,’ ‘Come on Over Baby,’ and ‘I Turn to You.’

It’s widely praised for being one of Pop’s most potent launching efforts and unquestionably catapulted Aguilera to astronomical heights straight out of the gate.

Naturally, Xtina has reflected on the milestone with ample thanks and even added to her recent tease about there being more to come.

Katy Perry isn’t letting serious bumps on the road of promo hamper her sense of humor.

The Pop performer has been hard at work trying to drum up buzz for her “comeback” album ‘143’ (due September 20).

However, as reported, the results thus far have been…mixed.

Indeed, while corners of her fandom have lapped up lead offering ‘Woman’s World’ and follow-up ‘Lifetimes,’ neither track has set the charts ablaze with the latter missing the Billboard Hot 100 entirely.

There has also been an avalanche of critique leveled against Perry for her producer choices and claims that the ‘Woman’s World’ music video touted feminism while actually catering to the male gaze. She would quickly clarify that the clip was deliberately “slapstick” and “sarcastic.”

Now, she’s doubling down on that matter in her own quirky way.
