Tonight Alanis Morissette will perform with Reneé Rapp Dick Clark’s rockin’ New Year’s Eve. But she won’t just ring in the new year with great nostalgic music. She is also celebrating a major career milestone. Her breakthrough album Jagged little pill will be 30 years old in 2025.

Morissette released Jagged little pill on June 13, 1995. It peaked at number 1 in several countries including Canada, the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom. The album spawned six singles, four of which reached No. 1 in Canada. The other two were top 10 hits.

The music icon kicked off the evening with a stunning performance of “Ironic,” which you can watch below.

Jagged little pill earned Morissette five Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year and Best Rock Album. This made her the youngest artist to win Album of the Year. The album also made her the first artist to receive a Double Diamond certification from Music Canada. It is certified 17 times platinum in the United States.

However, Jagged little pill was more than a hit record. It is a collection of songs that have stood the test of time. “Ironic,” “You Oughta Know,” and “You Learn” remain favorites with fans of all ages. It’s safe to say that when one of these songs is played to a room full of people old enough to have heard it on the radio in the ’90s, most of them still know all the lyrics and are happy to sing along.

Jagged little pill Showed a new side of Alanis Morissette

Alanis Morissette’s first two albums—Alanis And Now is the time– were very different from Jagged Little Pill. She didn’t have much success with the dance-pop sound of these records. Then, after working with Glen Ballard, she discovered the sound that would make her an international name.

Jagged little pill also saw a change in the way the Canadian-American singer/songwriter branded herself. She started using her full name, whereas before she was simply Alanis. This change corresponded not only to the change in their sound, but also to their much more personal lyrical content.

Morissette was experiencing a particularly dark time in her life and used the writing sessions for the album as a form of therapy. This vulnerability and honesty allowed her to connect with countless new fans around the world. Many of those fans are still listening today and will tune in to see her perform Dick Clark’s rockin’ New Year’s Eve.
