Shut Up was Kelly Osbourne's debut album, released on Epic on 26 November 2002, the year the reality show The Osbournes made her a household name. Ric Wake produced it, and it's a bratty pop-punk record with the guitars turned up and the attitude laid on thick, anchored by a snotty cover of Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach".
The critics shrugged. Reviews were mixed, and People magazine grumbled that a famous surname and a good haircut weren't enough to make convincing punk. Epic reissued it in 2003 as Changes, adding her duet with her father Ozzy on the Black Sabbath song of that name, which went to number one on the UK Singles Chart. Sales stayed thin all the same, 155,000 copies in the US by September 2003 according to Nielsen SoundScan, and Epic let her go.
