"Avril Lavigne-The Best Damn Thing Success"
Lavigne represented Canada at the closing ceremony of the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, performing her song "Who Knows" during the eight minutes of the Vancouver 2010 portion.
While Avril Lavigne was in the studio in 2006 for her third studio album, Fox Entertainment Group approached her to write a song for the soundtrack to the 2006 fantasy-adventure film Eragon. Avril Lavigne wrote and recorded two "ballad-type" songs, one of which "Keep Holding On" ended up being used for the film. Avril Lavigne admitted that writing the song was challenging, making sure it flows along with the film. "Avril Lavigne", however, noted that "Keep Holding On" was not indicative of what the next album would be. The song, which later appeared on the album, debuted on radio on November 20, 2006, and later released for digital download on November 28.
Avril Lavigne's 3rd album, The Best Damn Thing, was released on April 17, 2007. Avril Lavigne undertook a small tour to promote the album. Its lead single, "Girlfriend", topped the Billboard Hot 100, the week The Best Damn Thing debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. "Girlfriend" was Lavigne's first single to have reached number one in the United States. The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry ranked "Girlfriend" as 2007's most-downloaded track, selling 7.3 million copies in eight different languages. In December 2007, Avril Lavigne, with annual earnings of $12 million, was ranked number eight in the Forbes "Top 20 Earners Under 25".
In March 2008, Avril Lavigne undertook a world tour named "The Best Damn Tour" to support the album. In mid August 2008, Malaysia's Islamic opposition party, the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, attempted to ban Lavigne's show in Kuala Lumpur, judging her stage moves "too s*xy". Avril Lavigne's concert slated August 29 was deemed promoting wrong values ahead of Malaysia's independence day on August 31. On August 21, 2008, MTV reported that the concert had been approved by the Malaysian government.
