Through extensive study, Amos also wove in the stories of the [[Gnostic]] [[gospels]] and the removal of women from a position of power within the [[Christian church]] to create an album based largely on religion and politics. The album debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200,{{r|Billboard 200 p.1}}<ref>{{cite magazine |title='O' Puts Omarion on Top |date=March 2, 2005 |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/63894/o-puts-omarion-on-top |access-date=September 2, 2016 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20160902111944/http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/63894/o-puts-omarion-on-top |archive-date=September 2, 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref> placing her in an elite group of women who have secured five or more US Top 10 album debuts.<ref>{{cite web |author=<!-- No by-line; staff writer(s). --> |title=Tori Amos to Release New Album American Doll Posse; To Launch World Tour in May 2007 |work=Starpulse |date=March 28, 2007 |url=http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/2007/03/28/tori_amos_to_release_new_album_american__2007 |access-date=September 2, 2016 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20160902112103/http://www.starpulse.com/tori-amos-to-release-new-album-american-doll-posse-to-launch-world-tou-1847818037.html |archive-date=September 2, 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref> While the newly merged label was present throughout the production process of ''The Beekeeper'', Amos and her crew nearly completed her next project, ''American Doll Posse'', before inviting the label to listen to it. ''American Doll Posse'', another concept album, is fashioned around a group of girls (the "posse") who are used as a theme of alter-egos of Amos'. Musically and stylistically, the album saw Amos return to a more confrontational nature.<ref>{{cite web |last=Tingen |first=Paul |author-link=Paul Tingen |title=Tori Amos Talks About American Doll Posse |date=March 12, 2007 |website=PaulTingen.com |url=http://www.tingen.org/toriamos07.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070314184121/http://www.tingen.org/toriamos07.htm |archive-date=March 14, 2007 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Like its predecessor, ''American Doll Posse'' debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200.{{r|Billboard 200 p.1}}
