On day 16 of our 1,000 Hot No. 1s video series, we move from yesterday's '99 jam -- To view the link you have to Register -- to a more recent pop-rock hit as we chat with To view the link you have to Register about her 2007 No. 1, "Girlfriend." "Sometimes I've found that the stuff I write really quickly and don't really think about tends to be the magic," Lavigne tells Billboard.com. "We both knew, Dr. Luke and I, that that song was going to do well."

Thanks for posting! Neat to hear what she thinks of the songs success.

[SoraMcHalloween]

It's so good that she doesn't care much about her songs doing well but she knows exactly what it takes to make a hit.

[Ajwhatthehell]

awww her #1 days :']

[Keinware]

wow! this song let me knew Avril !

[Annie Was Here]

It's strangely kind of nice to see her reflect back to these moments from the last era. Sometimes I miss it. Four years ago really is a long time when you think back to where you were when Girlfriend went huge worldwide.

I love how open mind you're about everything

Awesome. I think her and Luke should make a few more songs together for her 5th album (only 1 or 2 before anyone tries to behead me). Keep Holding On and Girlfriend were both really different to other stuff in the charts and both really successful.

No.

[Ciara!]

No.

One or two can't do much harm, can it?

[Annie Was Here]

I know a lot of people give them shit as a team, but they made some really great songs together. Runaway, Keep Holding On, Hot, I Can Do Better, Girlfriend...talk about fucking catchy! And they gave us something different. I honestly wouldn't mind another collab, though I doubt it'd happen.

Same! Luke gets a lot of hate, and I don't see why. Sure, he's a "hit maker", but him and Avril made a really good team. Girlfriend is just epic, no one can deny that. Runaway, Hot, I Don't Have To Try, I Can Do Better - all awesome songs in my eyes. This is why I'm so excited about the Runners collaboration, she seems to be loving it like she did when she was in the studio with Luke. You can tell she's genuinely excited about her new music. But yeah, I wouldn't mind another couple of Luke songs.
