Parachutes is the debut album by English rock band Coldplay, released on July 10, 2000 in the UK and on November 7 in the U.S., making it the only Coldplay album to have a delayed release in America. Parachutes quickly shot to number one in the United Kingdom, staying in the top ten for thirty-three weeks. The album produced four hit singles: "Shiver", "Yellow", "Trouble", and "Don't Panic". In the United States, the album peaked at fifty-one on the Billboard 200, eventually selling over two million copies. Parachutes was placed #14 in Channel 4's 100 greatest albums of all time. In 2006 the album was placed #33 in NME's 100 greatest British albums. Still, Chris Martin said that Coldplay looks beyond Parachutes. "We know that's terrible music," he said, "and we always try to think about what we can do next." The song "Sparks" was featured in the movie "Wedding Crashers".Track listing:

Autobiography is the debut album by American pop rock singer Ashlee Simpson. Released in the United States by Geffen Records on July 20, 2004, the album debuted at number one on the charts, although critical reception was mixed. The album outsold In This Skin, the most successful album of Ashlee Simpson's sister, pop music singer Jessica Simpson, and went triple platinum. Three singles for the album were released: "Pieces of Me"—the first and best-selling single—which was a hit in several countries in mid to late 2004, as well as the follow-up singles "Shadow" and "La La". MTV highlighted the process of making the album in the reality series The Ashlee Simpson Show, which drew a large audience and served as an effective promotional vehicle for the album. 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.Track listing:
- Autobiography
- Pieces of Me
- Shadow
- Lala
- Love Makes the World Go Round
