Ashlee Nicole Simpson (born October 3, 1984) is an American pop rock singer–songwriter and an occasional actress. Her older sister
Jessica is also a famous pop singer.Simpson rose to prominence in mid-2004 through the success of her number-one debut album
Autobiography and the accompanying reality series The Ashlee Simpson Show. Simpson received widespread derision when she used a
pre-recorded vocal track for a performance on Saturday Night Live in October 2004. Following a North American concert tour and an
unsuccessful film appearance, Simpson released a second number-one album, I Am Me, in late 2005.
Ashlee Simpson's first album, Autobiography, debuted at number one in the U.S. in July 2004 with first week sales numbering around
398,000 copies. The album was certified triple platinum in September 2004. Simpson co-wrote all of the album's tracks and described it
as "very true to my emotion"[4] in one interview, but critical reviews were mixed.[5] Rolling Stone magazine's Peter Relic characterised
Autobiography as a "mundane melange of Avril-ish brat pop and Sheryl Crow cod rock"[6] while E! Online wrote "Even if it doesn't wow
you, Autobiography may surprise you."[7] The single that preceded the album, "Pieces of Me," was one of the biggest hits of the
summer in the U.S. and sold well elsewhere. However, the follow-up singles "Shadow" and "La La" were less successful.
Simpson's second album, I Am Me, was released in the U.S. on October 18, 2005. Simpson said that she had wanted to incorporate the
feel of music from the 1980s on the album, and that unlike her debut it would focus less on relationships and more on herself.[21] I Am
Me debuted at number one with roughly 220,000 copies sold,[26] but sales quickly deteriorated; as of January 2006, it had sold less
than a million copies.[27] Its first single, "Boyfriend", became a top twenty hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and performed similarly
elsewhere. The second single, "L.O.V.E.", reached the U.S. top forty, its success aided by a remix by R&B/hip-hop producer Missy Elliott
and MTV's heavy rotation of the single's music video (it has been her most successful video to date on Total Request Live).
