NEW DOUBLE LP

New sealed copy. 2023 20th anniversary remastered reissue on 180 gram vinyl. Gatefold jacket.

Let Go is the debut studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne, released on June 4, 2002, by Arista Records. For a year after signing a record deal with Arista, Lavigne struggled due to conflicts in musical direction. She relocated to Los Angeles, where she recorded her earlier material for the album, the sound of which the label did not approve. She was paired with the production team the Matrix, who understood her vision for the album. Critics have described Let Go as an alternative rock[ album with a pop-punk and post-grunge-oriented sound.

The album was credited as the biggest pop debut of 2002 and was certified 7x Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in the United States. It was released to generally positive reviews, although Lavigne's songwriting received some criticism. It also did extremely well in Canada, receiving a diamond certification from Music Canada, as well as reaching multi-platinum in many countries around the world, including the UK, in which she became the youngest female solo artist to have a number-one album in the region.

Let Go has sold over 16 million copies worldwide, making it Lavigne's highest-selling album to date and the best selling album of the 21st century by a Canadian artist. According to Billboard, the album was the 21st-best-selling album of the decade. A Rolling Stone readers' poll named Let Go the fourth best album of the 2000s. The album is considered one of the albums that transformed the pop-punk music scene, helping to consolidate the genre in the mainstream and contributing to the rise of female-fronted pop-punk bands and female-driven punk-influenced pop music.
