''Anastacia'' is the name of the self-titled third album released by American Pop singer Anastacia in March 2004 but was not released in the United States . By the end of April, it had peaked at the top of the album charts in the United Kingdom , the Netherlands , Germany , Italy , and Australia , due to the success of the first single, ''Left Outside Alone'', as well as #2 in Spain . In the Netherlands the album was a major succes, it was #2 album of 2004 . The album made it to #2 in the year-end top 100 albums of 2005 in the Netherlands.


MAKING OF THE ALBUM

In January 2003 , Anastacia had discovered that she had Breast Cancer when she was preparing for Breast Reduction surgery due to orthopedic reasons. Anastacia subsequently established a fund through the Breast Cancer Research Fund to promote awareness of breast cancer amongst younger women.

After this traumatic experience, Anastacia entered record studios in September 2003 to record the ''Anastacia'' album with Glen Ballard , Dallas Austin , and Dave Stewart for release in 2004. Anastacia was after more of a rock feel on the album, as is most apparent in the track ''I Do'' which featured Sonny Sandoval from P.O.D. .

Anastacia says on her website that her illness made it more difficult to record the album:

She struggled through the process to finish the album for release in March 2004.
