Goodbye Alice in Wonderland is the fifth album by singer-songwriter Jewel, released in 2006. The album marks a return to her musical roots after 0304, and trying to write an autobiographical album like she did with Pieces of You. The album was written in the form of a novel with each track representing a chapter. Although the first official single was "Again & Again," the title track "Goodbye Alice in Wonderland" debuted a month earlier on her website as an Internet exclusive. The second single, "Good Day" was released to radio in late June, 2006. The next single is "Stephenville, TX". A video for it can be seen on Yahoo! Launch.
The album made its debut at #8 on the Billboard 200, with sales of 82,000 copies its first week, and became Jewel's fifth top 10 album in the United States. However, after only 12 weeks the album slid out of the Billboard 200, selling a disappointing 320,000 copies. The album reappeared one week later after heavy promotion on various talk shows.
Jewel stated she had plans to re-release the album, but her record company would not let her. However, they did allow her to release just two singles in 2007. The first single to be released in 2007 was "Stephenville, TX", which was considered a commercial failure. Much to the dismay of her record company, Jewel released "Fragile Heart" in February 2007 as her official last single. Much to her surprise, "Fragile Heart" became Jewel's only song to debut in iTunes top 100 songs a few days before Valentines Day.
The album has sold 593,400 copies worlwide so far.
