The album won a BRIT Award nomination for Best Female Artist and two Grammy Award nominations for Best Rock Album and Best Female Rock Performance for the album’s third single, ” This Is Love “. Harvey was nominated for, and won, the 2001 Mercury Prize . The awards ceremony was held on the same day as the September 11 attacks on the United States and Harvey was on tour in Washington, D.C., one of the affected cities, when she won the prize. Reflecting on the win in 2001, she said: “quite naturally I look back at that and only remember the events that were taking place across the world and to win the prize on that day—it didn’t have much importance in the grand scheme of things”, noting “it was a very surreal day”. The same year, Harvey also topped a readers’ poll conducted by Q magazine of the 100 Greatest Women in Rock Music.
