[edit] Chart performance
Beside the fact that the song that was to be released as the album's main single, "Love is a Crime" by Anastacia, was never released (due to the fact that Anastacia had just been diagnosis with breast cancer), the album fared very well on four of the Billboard charts, reaching #2 on the Billboard 200 chart.
