Avril Lavigne – Sk8er Boi

If everything Avril Lavigne represented with her debut album could be syphoned down into a single song, ‘Sk8er Boi’ would probably be it.

‘So Yesterday’ helped Hilary Duff lay the foundation upon which a new generation of pop stars stampeded into the charts.

She might have featured alongside Dane Bowers and True Steppers on ‘Out Of Your Mind’, but as her debut single, Victoria Beckham is front and centre

‘My Happy Ending’ helped Avril Lavigne transition through a difficult second album, showing there was more to her than a “sk8er boi” gimmick
