Trivia :

Autobiography is the debut album by American pop rock singer Ashlee Simpson.

The album outsold In This Skin, the most successful album of Ashlee Simpson's sister, pop music singer Jessica Simpson, and went triple platinum.

In October 2004, the album became the subject of negative publicity when Simpson appeared to be lip syncing during a performance on the television show Saturday Night Live.

Simpson described the process of writing the album's twelve songs as being similar to keeping a diary, and before the album's U.S. release she said that "My inspiration came from what I have gone through in the past three years. Every single day I was thinking of what I was going through and would write songs about it."

In the U.S., Autobiography was 2004's biggest debut album by a female artist, and in September the RIAA gave the album a triple platinum certification.

Simpson's success in album sales with Autobiography compares favorably with that of her sister Jessica, who, despite having several hits since 1999, has not as of 2006 had a number one album.

In a 2004 interview, Simpson said that when she began seeking a recording contract record labels would not meet with her because they thought she just wanted "to be like her sister"

Simpson said of making the album: "It's a lot of work. From finding the right label to the actual recording, it took about nine months, then it was followed by the publicity work."
