Data Insight

Twelve of the fourteen tracks carry only her name, the highest solo share of anything she has made. Steve Poltz co-writes two, including the biggest single. A debut recorded largely live in a coffee house, and still the best selling record of her career by a wide margin.

Pieces of You came out on Atlantic in February 1995 and is certified diamond by the RIAA. It took two years to break, and "You Were Meant for Me" and "Foolish Games" both reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100.
