baaaad boy, you didn't asked on the Index thread to create this! :evil:

nah, just kidding :lol:

as there's no thread for her yet there's no problem on opening this one, i'll just edit the title!

in fact, it's a nice addiction to our forum as Fiona is one of the best female artist imo

i'm hoping she releases a new album soon!

by **AyuM** » Sun Nov 29, 2009 2:11 am

Oh, sorry, I did checked the Index before making this, though!

Next time I'll ask as well! :wink:

And yeah, I can't wait for her next album as well, she's so unique. Certainly one of my faves!

With the low sales climate in America, I hope she can make top 5 like Regina Spektor did.

In this week's Billboard Magazine, it says that "Extraordinary Machine" passed the million mark in Soundscan sales.

Where? I highly doubt that, it hadn't even passed 500k long after it dropped out the charts!

Well, NME thinks they are the same person, so we can count this as Alanis' success as well :lol:

Those sales aren't bad

I think she has quite a solid fan base. I remember a couple of years back when there was that big fan campaign to get Extraordinary Machine to market. It was quite phenomenal. And plus, this album is getting rave reviews.
