Trivia
- Avril Lavigne broke a record set by Madonna. Her song Complicated held the number one spot on the Contemporary Hit Radio chart for 11 weeks in a row. Madonna previously held the record with her song "Music", which held onto No.1 for 10 weeks.
- The pants that Lavigne wore in her video for Complicated are the same pants she wears in the video for Losing Grip.
- Lavigne formerly traveled with a bag full of about 30 neck ties. Some of them she bought, and the rest of them she just took from her dad.
- Lavigne stopped wearing neckties completely in 2003 as she was horrified at the constant media references to them overshadowing her music.
