Alanis Morissette Charts Her First No. 1 Album Decades Into Her Career
It's been 30 years since Alanis Morissette released what would go on to become one of the most successful albums of all time, Jagged Little Pill. The full-length turned her into a global superstar and helped inject the sounds of alternative rock and grunge into top 40 pop radio.
Decades later, the project is still regarded as a masterpiece, and this week, it storms the charts in the United Kingdom following the Canadian singer-songwriter's performance at Glastonbury, one of the most important and closely watched music festivals in the world.
Alanis Morissette Returns with her Classic
Jagged Little Pill appears on half a dozen charts in the U.K. this week, and 30 years into its lifespan, it even manages to lead one of them. Morissette conquers the Official Album Downloads chart with her breakout project, which soars from No. 40 to the top spot following her showstopping performance.
A Career First for Alanis Morissette
Jagged Little Pill reaches No. 1 on the Official Album Downloads tally for the first time this week. Perhaps even more impressively, Morissette collects her first leader on the list of the most-purchased full-lengths and EPs on download platforms like iTunes and Amazon in the U.K.
She had previously peaked at No. 4 with Such Pretty Forks in the Road. Flavors of Entanglement also brought her into the top 10, where it stalled at No. 7.
A Second Week Inside the Top 10
Jagged Little Pill earns just its second stay inside the highest tier on the Official Album Downloads chart as it surges. In February 2015, the project reentered the list at No. 6, which stood as its best showing until now.
Jagged Little Pill Reaches Several Charts
As it hits No. 1 on the Official Album Downloads chart, Jagged Little Pill also launches to impressive positions on both the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums tallies. On the former, it cracks the top 10, shooting more than 60 spaces. On the latter, the project lifts 70-plus spots, though it doesn't quite manage to enter the top 10.
At the same time, the Grammy-winning rock set arrives on the Official Albums Streaming ranking and reenters both the Official Vinyl Albums tally and the main list of the most consumed full-lengths and EPs in the U.K.

They say the endearing elephant never forgets – and nor should we
They say that elephants never forget – so how could we fail to remember these loveable creatures on World Elephant Day? Eugene the Elephant in Around the World in Eighty Days at Theatre by the Lake (Image: Submitted) The day brings global attention to the challenges elephants face and the importance of preserving their future.

Benjamin Clarke made an elephant mask in a workshop with artist John Parkinson at High Hesket School (Image: Newsquest) World Elephant Day was officially launched in 2012 by filmmaker Patricia Sims and the Elephant Reintroduction Foundation of Thailand. Since then, over 100 wildlife organisations and countless individuals around the world have joined the cause, making this day a significant moment in wildlife conservation.

Both African and Asian elephants are in jeopardy – African elephants are listed as Vulnerable, and Asian elephants as Endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Owner Mo Rammy (centre) with staff at Mr Elephant in Brampton (Image: Newsquest) Current estimates place the African elephant population at around 400,000, while Asian elephants have dwindled to just 40,000. Experts warn that if aggressive conservation steps aren't taken, both species could vanish within the next decade.

The film focused on reintroducing captive elephants into the wild and set the tone for the day's mission.

You can celebrate World Elephant Day by supporting ethical organisations like the Elephant Reintroduction Foundation, Save the Elephants, and the World Wildlife Fund. These groups work tirelessly to protect elephant habitats, prevent poaching, and ensure elephants live free from harm.

A Rom-Com Born in Britain and Set in New York Is Coming to Broadway
A meet-cute musical about two 20-somethings on their way to a wedding (his dad is marrying her sister — it's complicated) will add some song-and-dance to a play-heavy season on Broadway this fall. 'Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York)' is small — just the pair of performers — and, according to reviews of several prior stagings, charming. The show began its life in 2019 with a different title — 'The Season' — and a couple of runs in England — at the New Wolsey Theater in Ipswich and at Royal & Derngate in Northampton. A new, retitled version arrived at the Kiln Theater in London in 2023, and then transferred to the West End the next year; earlier this year, it ran at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, Mass. The Broadway production is scheduled to begin previews on Nov. 1 and to open Nov. 20 at the Longacre Theater. It will star Sam Tutty, who won an Olivier Award for playing the title role in the London production of 'Dear Evan Hansen,' and Christiani Pitts, who last starred on Broadway in an ill-fated musical adaptation of 'King Kong.' Tutty has been with the production since its London run; Pitts joined in Cambridge. The show is about a sweet young English cinema usher who flies to New York to attend the second wedding of his estranged father; the bride asks her sister, an American barista, wry by comparison, to pick him up. The two of them spend two days exploring New York, and getting to know each other, before the ceremony. In Britain, The Telegraph called it 'a total charmer,' while The Independent said the show 'captures all the messiness of being in your twenties without a plan, showing how big cities can crush anyone naïve enough to see them as a pretty backdrop to their dreams.' The show's book and music are by Jim Barne and Kit Buchan and it's directed and choreographed by Tim Jackson. The producers are Kevin McCollum, Tim Johanson, Glass Half Full Productions and Jamie Wilson Productions.
