Christina Aguilera celebrates 25 years since the release of debut album with Matthew Rutler at L.A. Party

Who would have thought that it's already 25 years since the first album by Christina Aguilera entered the US music scene? Pop sensation Christina Aguilera recently celebrated this special day with a grand party in Los Angeles. On Monday evening, September 23, West Hollywood EDITION became the host of the grand celebrations of the pop star. Christina was joined by her fiancé, Matthew Rutler. The former lovers posed together on the red carpet and then continued to enjoy the party.

The self-titled debut album, *Christina Aguilera*, appeared in 1999 with some of her most recognizable tunes. Hits like the ones listed as "Genie in a Bottle," "What a Girl Wants," "I Turn to You," "Come on Over," and "Reflection" from Disney's *Mulan* helped this one debut at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, then go on to sell more than 8 million in the United States alone.

To make this special occasion even more memorable, Christina collaborated with Spotify to give her fans something extra. She released some new versions of some of her most popular songs, so these updated tracks come with special collaborations, for example, Sabrina Carpenter and Machine Gun Kelly. Fans can now listen to these fresh takes on her classic hits.

It was at the anniversary party that Christina looked back to one incredible career marked by great success of her debut album, which catapulted her into stardom. The night summed up the music that had made her a pop icon and the legacy that continues to this day.

This was also a milestone for Christina: the celebration was not only for her music but, more importantly, her influence in the industry, since fans of all ages continued to love her work. A moment to take at the 25th-anniversary event to reflect on how far she had come since that first album.
