In the mid-to-late 2000s, SME and its subsidiaries (including Arista Records) gained an infamous reputation when Arista Records/Sony BMG (with Sony Music being their parent company) signed Avril Lavigne and Pink two-album contracts; in Lavigne's case, her album contract was worth $1.25 million; certain music communities (especially those in the punk youth subculture) derided Lavigne and Pink for making glossy, dance-heavy, mellow albums with commercial pop/post-grunge riffs pushed into [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jangle jangle] or soft/mild overdrive as opposed to distortion/crunch or producing feedback. Rock, punk and grunge fans state that their albums only seem to masquerade as rock music, pop punk or straight punk rock (which Avril's first album, ''Let Go'', actually continues to be described as to this day; said album only has a single punk-adjacent song called "Sk8er Boi", while all the others range from strummy light rock to Alanis Morrisette-esque pop songs with a "Faith Hill kind of vibe"). Although power pop artist Pink, or Alecia Beth Moore, continues to achieve multi-platinum selling albums and chart toppers to this day, Lavigne's music has not gotten nationwide or regular airplay on the radio since 2009/2010. Her last commercially successful album outside of Asia was ''Goodbye Lullaby'' in 2011.
