More on Jagged Little Pill
Description from Wikipedia:
Jagged Little Pill is the third studio album (and the first to be released internationally) by Canadian singer/songwriter Alanis Morissette. The album made a sharp turn in genre and style for Morissette from her previous dance pop sound. As detailed in the article about the seventh track, "You Learn", the title is a metaphor for lessons of life that are hard to accept. The album was Morrisette's breakthrough album, and had five hits, "You Oughta Know", "Ironic", "You Learn", "Hand in My Pocket", and "Head over Feet".
The album is considered one of the most successful albums of all time for its many commercial achievements, received awards and cultural resonance, worldwide.
The album garnered great success, spending twelve non-consecutive weeks at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart, and became one of three albums – along with Thriller by Michael Jackson and Falling into You by Céline Dion – to remain in the Top Ten for over a year.
The album had a slow rise up the charts, but four million copies were shipped in the U.S. during 1995, and in 1996 it became the best-selling album of the year, with ten million shipments. On July 29, 1998, the RIAA certified it 16× platinum.
It was the second-best-selling album of the 1990s, behind Shania Twain's Come on Over, with twenty-eight million copies sold by 2000. By January 2005, the album had sold 33 million units worldwide.
In October 2002, Rolling Stone ranked it number 31 on its Women In Rock - The 50 Essential Albums list, and in 2003 the magazine ranked it number 327 on its list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The album also holds a title in The Definitive 200 Albums list, in which it is placed at number 24.
