By the Numbers
Branch is on all thirteen tracks and alone on nine of them, the highest self-written share of any album she made for a major label. John Shanks co-writes only the three singles, which is a clean split: the songs written for radio have a professional co-writer, and everything else is hers. The title refers to hotel stationery, which is what she wrote a lot of it on.
Hotel Paper is Michelle Branch's third album, released in June 2003 on Maverick. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 with 157,000 in its first week and was certified platinum that December. "Are You Happy Now?", "Breathe" and "'Til I Get Over You" were the singles.
