. However, after only 12 weeks the album slid out of the Billboard 200. The album reappeared one week later after heavy promotion on various talk shows. It has sold 377,000 copies in the U.S. as of June 2010.
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 two singles in 2007. The first single was "Stephenville, TX", which was considered a commercial failure.

Final record with Atlantic

Jewel opted not to renew her contract with Atlantic Records at the end of 2006, and because of this it became official that Goodbye Alice in Wonderland would be her final studio album of new material with them.
