[edit] Singles
"Complicated" was the first single from the album. Its release had a major impact on Lavigne's career, and significantly increased sales of the album. It peaked at number two on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, number three on the UK chart, and number one in Australia. "Complicated" remains Lavigne's most successful song to date.
"Sk8er Boi" was the second single released from Let Go, with a punk edge. The song went top 10 in the US, UK and Australia, and number 1 in Canada. Nonetheless, it remains one of Lavigne's biggest songs to date. After the upbeat songs "Complicated" and "Sk8er Boi" had their runs globally, Lavigne decided to release a ballad from her album. "I'm with You" performed a little bit better than "Sk8er Boi", peaking at number four on the Billboard Hot 100, number seven in the UK, and number eighteen in Canada.
The alternative rock-influenced "Losing Grip" was the fourth single. It barely gained any airplay or video play in the U.S., peaking at number sixty-four on the Billboard Hot 100, more than fifty spots lower than its three predecessors. It managed a twenty-two place in the UK, and went to number twenty in Australia, probably its highest chart position anywhere in the world. Otherwise its release was unsuccessful. "Mobile" was the fifth single released from the album, and was released in Australia as a radio-only track. It was later used in the 2004 film Wimbledon with Kirsten Dunst.
All four of Avril's singles earned Grammy nominations though none have garnered her an award.[1]
