It reached No. 3 on the ARIA Charts,[1] and became the highest selling single in Australia by an Australian artist during the 12-month period of eligibility for the 1999 ARIA Music Awards. For "Jackie", Joanne was credited as B.Z. featuring Joanne or Joanne/BZ, referring to the original performers of the song, Blue Zone.

She released the singles "Pack Your Bags" and "Are You Ready" in 1999.

Her next release was featuring on the track "Breakin' There's No Stoppin' Us" by Ilanda for The Wog Boy Movie in 2000.

Her solo album, Do Not Disturb, was released in 2001 after being a work in progress for two and a half years.[2] It features a remix of "Jackie", her two singles released in 1999 and three new singles, "So Damn Fine", "I Don't Know", and "Busted". It was produced and recorded in Dance World Studios, South Melbourne.
