It’s never a good sign when 73% of your downloads and ringtones come from an album which preceded the digital era by nearly one decade. It shows how much Morissette‘s recent efforts failed to produce hits.
In the other side, it also demonstrates the strong enduring appeal of Jagged Little Pill‘s songs. Ironic is comfortably over 2 million so far while both You Oughta Know and Hand In My Pocket are million sellers. You Learn and Head over Feet both top half a million units too. In total, tracks from the album moved 6,64 million digital sales, 5 million of which come from the US and Canada.
