Under Rug Swept by Alanis Morissette
Under Rug Swept is an album by Alanis Morissette, released in 2001. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Hands Clean”, on 2 lists with a best position of #26.
Under Rug Swept, Alanis Morissette's fifth studio album, came out on Maverick as the follow-up to Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, and this time nobody else's hands were on the wheel: she wrote and produced the whole thing herself, a first for her. The title comes straight out of a line in the lead single, "Hands Clean", the track that also turned up on a countdown.
The songs are as confessional and unguarded as ever, and she sings them with a raw, full-throated urgency that critics singled out, along with the lyrics. It went straight in at number one on the Billboard 200 and topped the charts in 11 other countries. It didn't sell like the two albums before it, but more than 4 million copies worldwide is hardly a stumble, and her work behind the desk earned her the Jack Richardson Producer of the Year Award.
