==Release and promotion== ''Scarlet's Walk'' saw release on October 28, 2002 in the UK and was released a day later in the US. Peaking at number seven on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]], it became her fourth album to reach the top ten in the US.<ref name="Billboard charts"/> The album would also reach the top 20 in six additional countries (including a top ten placement in Germany) and be certified Gold by the RIAA for sales in excess of 500,000 copies.<ref name="RIAA"/> In addition to the standard release, a limited edition box set was released with slightly altered cover art, a bonus disc ("Scarlet's DVD", which included content for "Gold Dust", "A Sorta Fairytale", and "Taxi Ride"), and collectibles. Advance copies of the album sent to reviewers were sealed inside [[Sony]] [[Walkman]] players with glue to prevent Internet trading of the album.<ref name="CD player">{{cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2002/09/16/business/mediatalk-epic-records-takes-steps-to-seal-its-newest-music.html |website=The New York Times |title=MediaTalk; Epic Records Takes Steps To Seal Its Newest Music |last=Nelson |first=Chris |date=16 September 2002 |access-date=25 November 2022}}</ref> Headphones were also glued to the players to prevent listeners from connecting recording devices to them. As another incentive to curb piracy, the physical CD release provided entry to "Scarlet's Web", a website that was the sole source for additional tracks, tour photos, and other content. All tracks included on "Scarlet's Web" (with the exception of "Mountain") would later be included on the ''[[Scarlet's Hidden Treasures]]'' [[extended play|EP]], released as a companion to the 2004 live video ''[[Welcome to Sunny Florida]]''. ''Scarlet Stories'', a disc of commentary by Amos about each of the album's songs, was released as part of the "Get Tori as a Gift β Get a Gift From Tori" promotion, being given as a free bonus to those who bought two copies of ''Scarlet's Walk'' at indie retailers. "A Sorta Fairytale" (backed with the non-album track "Operation Peter Pan") was released as the album's first single and reached number two on the US [[Adult Alternative Airplay|Triple A]] chart and 14 on the [[Bubbling Under Hot 100]] and became one of her biggest radio hits. A music video was made for the song, directed by [[Sanji (director)|Sanji]]. It depicts Amos as a head with a disembodied leg falling in love with a head with a disembodied arm (played by [[Adrien Brody]]). After kissing, the video ends with them growing the rest of their body parts, and becoming "whole" from their love. The music video later received its own DVD release, with extras including a "making of" for the video and an interview with Amos. The second single, "Taxi Ride", reached number 20 on the US Triple A chart and number 35 on the Adult Top 40. Remixes of "Don't Make Me Come to Vegas" by Timo Maas served as the third and final single from the album. The single (Amos' last commercially available, physical single release to date) reached number six on the US Dance Club Songs chart and number 12 on the Dance Singles Sales chart in the summer of 2003. Finally, "Strange" would receive a promotional single release later that year.
