Frequently Asked Questions Am I Not Your Girl?

Other people, almost entirely. Twelve of the thirteen tracks are standards by writers including Rodgers and Hart, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, and Antônio Carlos Jobim. The only O'Connor credit is the spoken hidden track that closes the record.
Did any single chart in the Hot 100?
No. "Success Has Made a Failure of Our Home" and "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" both missed it.
How did it sell?
The discography publishes certifications for it rather than a sales figure.
Who produced it?
Phil Ramone with Sinéad O'Connor.
Who engineered it?
Gary Chester, with Greg Calbi mastering.
Why did she make a standards album?
She has said these were the songs she grew up hearing, and she recorded them with a large orchestra rather than a band.

47:38 across thirteen tracks.
