In This Skin - Chart Performance

Chart Performance

It was during the release of this album that Simpson had become a household name, due in part to her reality show Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica. At first, In This Skin wasn't doing very well on the charts, as it debuted at #10 with 64,000 copies and quickly sank to the bottom of the Billboard 200 album charts. In five months, the album had sold just 565,000 copies. However, sales began to steadily increase during the Holiday season in 2003.

Then, Columbia Records decided to re-release In This Skin with several new tracks in order to utilize the success of the singer. With "With You" on the top of the radio charts in February 2004, Simpson released her third single, "Take My Breath Away", as the first single from the new re-release.
