Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill returns to multiple U.K. charts as fans celebrate the album’s … More
Alanis Morissette changed the sound of top 40 radio decades ago with her album Jagged Little Pill. By the time she released the full-length, the young singer-songwriter had already found some success in Canada with a more dance-pop-oriented direction, but she decided to switch things up and venture into alternative rock.
Her third full-length, Jagged Little Pill, took over the world and has hardly faded from popularity ever since. Now, the set is back on multiple charts in the United Kingdom as fans honor its milestone birthday.
Jagged Little Pill Turns 30
Jagged Little Pill was released on June 13, 1995, which means it just turned 30 years old. To celebrate the project’s anniversary, fans across the U.K. began purchasing the blockbuster in large enough numbers to bring it back to multiple tallies.
Jagged Little Pill reenters the Official Albums Sales chart at No. 75. It also returns to the Official Physical Albums list at No. 95.
Jagged Little Pill Shoots Back Into the Top 20
Morissette’s classic can be found on three rankings in the U.K., but it only needed to return to two of them. Jagged Little Pill vaults from No. 92 to No. 20 on the Official Album Downloads chart. Since it sits so low on the Official Physical Albums roster, it seems clear that fans of the singer preferred to purchase the collection digitally, rather than go out to a store and pick up a CD or vinyl.
Alanis Morissette’s Past No. 1
While Jagged Little Pill may sit lowest at the moment on the Official Physical Albums chart, that’s the only one of the three tallies where it has previously reached No. 1. It’s also the ranking where Jagged Little Pill has spent the most time, as it’s now up to 225 frames — more than the length of time it spent on the other two rosters combined.
Jagged Little Pill has previously cracked the top 10 on the downloads list, peaking at No. 6, while it’s only ever soared to No. 15 on the general ranking of the most-purchased sets and full-lengths throughout the U.K.
