The Collection covers the seven-time Grammy® Award-winner’s career between 1995 and 2005, when the Canadian popstar first broke out in the States. It includes a handful of Morissette’s well-known singles, several soundtrack selections, and her performance of Seal’s hit Crazy, which debuted on The Collection in 2005.
Five songs from her No 1 album, Jagged Little Pill (1995), appear on the set, including the smash singles You Oughta Know, Ironic, and You Learn. The album catapulted Morissette to global stardom, earning her five Grammy® awards, including Album of the Year. The record was certified 16x platinum, selling over 33 million copies worldwide. It is the 16th best-selling album of all time in the US and the third best-selling album by a female artist.
Morissette returned in 1998 with the triple-platinum album Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, which is represented on The Collecction by a trio of songs, including the Top 20 hit Thank You. Hands Clean from her 2002 platinum album, Under Rug Swept, is featured along with Eight Easy Steps from 2004’s So-Called Chaos.
Several songs on The Collection weren’t released on Morissette’s studio albums, like Princes Familiar from her 1999 gold-certified MTV Unplugged album and Sister Blister from the 2002 compilation Feast on Scraps. A few of the singer’s soundtrack contributions are featured here, including Still from Kevin Smith’s 1999 film, Dogma, where Morissette played the role of God.
