Alanis’s U.S. chart achievements are minimal because her peak moment of popularity happened to fall during the era of the massively FUBAR’d mid-’90s charts, wherein Billboard’s policy still required a traditional retail single release for Hot 100 placement, and the labels were in the process of decimating the single. You can put “Oughta” alongside “Don’t Speak,” “Daughter,” “Lovefool” and “Killing Me Softly” among massive radio hits from 1994-98 that never made the big chart at all on a technicality. It’s safe to assume, if there’d been a commercial single of “Oughta,” it would have at least hit the Top Five, if not No. 1.

For whatever reason, Maverick deigned to release commercial singles for “Ironic” and “You Learn,” which is why they charted (by that point in ‘96, Jagged Little Pill was such a blockbuster, they probably had little fear of album cannibalization).

And also for whatever reason, “Oughta” was still scoring enough monitored airplay when “You Learn” charted that Billboard listed the live B-side alongside it on the Hot 100. So for most of the life of the single, it was listed as “You Learn/You Oughta Know.”
