Quiet Nights also landed at Number Three on the Billboard 200 albums chart -- her highest pop chart debut to date -- with sales of 104,000 units, according to Nielsen SoundScan. This marks Krall's best debut sales week since The Girl In the Other Room entered with 144,000 copies sold in 2004.
Her previous top ten pop set was From This Moment On, which peaked at Number Seven in 2006.
Krall interprets a number of standards in the Brazilian style on Quiet Nights, and recently shared what vocal great Tony Bennett taught her about interpretation: "What Tony Bennett taught me about telling a story, about the lyric, about emotional directness: You intellectually process the lyric and then your job is to emotionally deliver them so that people feel something, so that you're not giving the story away, but it's left up to the interpretation of the listener."
Krall has embarked on a North American tour, with dates throughout her native Canada this month.
