"Nearly 30 Years of 'Jagged Little Pill': The Iconic Album That Almost Wasn't"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Fox News
Alanis Morissette's groundbreaking album "Jagged Little Pill" is approaching its 30th anniversary, a milestone for the record that has sold over 33 million copies worldwide and won four Grammy Awards. Despite its massive success, the album's creation was fraught with challenges, including Morissette being dropped by her label and facing rejection from several others before Maverick Records signed her. The album, co-written with Glen Ballard, was a significant cultural force, influencing a generation of artists and nearly didn't come to fruition due to a near loss of all work during a mugging and initial industry skepticism. Morissette's perseverance and the eventual support from Maverick's Guy Oseary were pivotal in bringing the album to the world.
