Alanis Morissette Marks A Career First As Several Albums Debut

Alanis Morissette enjoyed a hugely successful run on the charts in the 1990s and early 2000s — the kind that few artists have matched. The Canadian singer-songwriter brought many of her most familiar tracks together for her 2005 greatest hits compilation The Collection, a project largely composed of songs from her breakout album Jagged Little Pill.

This week turns out to be massive for Morissette, as both of those projects are not only present once again on several highly competitive rankings in the United Kingdom – they both manage to debut on at least one tally apiece.

Jagged Little Pill Returns on Multiple U.K. Charts

Jagged Little Pill is the stronger performer between the two titles, as it appears on six different U.K.-based album rankings. In some cases, the project returns to the lists, such as on the Official Vinyl Albums chart and the Official Albums ranking, as it reenters at Nos. 15 and 39, respectively.

The full-length surges to No. 1 on the Official Album Downloads chart this frame. As it surges, the title becomes Morissette’s first leader there. At the same time, the project rockets more than 60 spaces to No. 10 on the Official Albums Sales roster. Both of those numbers mark new peak positions for the decades-old bestseller.

Jagged Little Pill Debuts

Even after so many years and millions upon millions of sales, Jagged Little Pill still manages to debut on one tally across the pond. The Grammy winner starts the project at No. 100 on the Official Albums Streaming chart, where she’s scored just two wins during her career – and both are new.

The Collection Debuts on Several Lists

While The Collection appears on half as many rankings as Jagged Little Pill, it debuts on twice as many. The compilation opens at No. 28 on the Official Album Downloads chart and kicks off its time on the Official Albums Streaming tally at No. 71.

At the same time, the compilation finds its way back to the primary ranking of the most-consumed albums in the U.K., where it currently sits at No. 78. Despite being released two decades ago, The Collection has only spent five weeks on the Official Albums chart, and it previously peaked at No. 44.

A Streaming Milestone for Alanis Morissette

As both Jagged Little Pill and The Collection debut on the Official Albums Streaming chart, Morissette scores her first two appearances on the tally. While she has previously landed on a number of sales-focused lists and the all-encompassing consumption roster, this week marks the first time she’s placed on the streaming-only ranking.
