Anastacia was a commercial success, peaking at the top of the albums charts in several countries, including Australia, Belgium, Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, and was the 2nd biggest album of 2004 in Europe. 

 

The album was never released in Anastacia's native United States

 

 

The way she's American and said America isn't even worth my time and didn't even release it there is such a statement

 

She really said I have enough success overseas and let me keep my energy for those who love me 

 

The amount of gems: "Seasons Change", "I Do" and "Welcome To My Truth" and the amazing singles "Left Outside Alone" and "Sick and Tired"

A smash. A serve.

I remember being obsessed with this album even tho it didn’t do well here in the States. Shes super underrated 

That's such a genuinely great album! Also shoutout to Heavy On My Heart:

 

Welcome To My Truth 

One of my favourite pop/rock albums of all time.

Yeah I have no idea why.  I loved her first but that was a flop as well. Glad she got a career somewhere.

I do, the song we needed then and we need more than ever now.

you act like this was her decision

One of my all-time favorite albums there isn't one single song I dislike. Even the four B-sides from the CD singles are fantastic.

It's always been my favorite from the album, even as a kid when I first got the CD

Not my fave of hers but it's still very good! She should've kept this music genre for the follow up instead of a GH album and the weak "Heavy Rotation" that literally killed her career 

 

Stream this delicious gem

 

 

 

That bridge

 

 

 

Amazing era

This album's 20th anniversary is in a few months!

The 2 first singles are absolutely amazing. I Do should've been the third single.

I used to be obsessed with this album. Actually, I was obsessed with her first three albums back in the day. It’s a shame I haven’t liked anything since, but those three will always hold a special place in my heart. 

ugh her best album

I remember screaming left outside alone bridge/last chorus back in the day like there was no chance to listen to it again
