Her most popular and most successful song is the aforementioned "It's Oh So Quiet". Björk got angry that her most popular song is a cover, and now she rarely performs it.



** A downplayed case, but she had an ambivalent reaction to the public acclaiming ''Vulnicura'' (a [[BreakupSong Breakup Album]]) as a "return to form" after the worse-received ''Volta'' and ''Biophilia'' (which respectively focus on social commentary and science), since she said this reinforced stereotypes that women musicians should just sing about love and emotions to have success while avoiding "serious" or "political" subjects, unlike their male colleagues.



-->"I was really embarrassed about that song. I can still hardly listen to it."
* CreatorBreakdown: Slightly before recording began on ''Homogenic'', a LoonyFan of hers named Ricardo López made a video diary detailing his obsession over her as well as a letterbomb that he sent to her home (it was intercepted before it could do any harm) before killing himself. After the incident, she stated that it distressed and disturbed her, instilling a deep sensation of paranoia that [[ParanoiaFuel someone could get so involved in her personal life so as to potentially hurt her or her child]]. This led to the song "So Broken".

** One of the contributors to ''Music/{{Medulla}}'' was planned to be Music/{{Beyonce}} (yes, really!), but scheduling issues prevented her from appearing. Björk justified this choice as such:
--->"[Medúlla] is an album about voices, and she's got the most amazing voice."

** Music/{{Arca}} was supposed to be a key contributor to ''Fossora'', as she was to ''Vulnicura'' and ''Utopia'', but the UsefulNotes/Covid19Pandemic prevented her and Björk from meeting. On that note, "Allow" was originally composed during the ''Utopia'' sessions before being reused for ''Fossora''.

* BuryYourArt: Her self-titled album as a child singer has not only never been issued outside her native Iceland, but has also never been officially released past its original vinyl pressing in 1977. Her first solo album as an adult would be named ''Music/{{Debut}}'', firmly exiling her 1977 album to CanonDiscontinuity, and she has scarcely brought it up in interviews.

** After the TroubledProduction of ''Film/DancerInTheDark'', she stated that she ''hated'' working with Creator/LarsVonTrier so much that she vowed to never act again, despite winning Best Actress award at Cannes for that film. However in 2005--where she got cast as the lead in her then-husband's [[LeFilmArtistique arthouse film]] ''Drawing Restraint 9''--she stated that she would act again, but ''not'' for Lars von Trier. In 2020 she was cast in Robert Eggers' ''Fim/TheNorthman'', further stating about it.

** "Who Is It?" was originally planned for ''Vespertine'' but felt the song's tone didn't fit well with the album's feel, so it ultimately became part of her next album ''Music/{{Medulla}}''.

* OnlyOneName: Björk isn't an example, or at least her mononym isn't an affectation. Most Icelanders including Björk don't have a family name; Guðmundsdóttir is a patronymic (it simply means "daughter of Guðmundur," her father's name), and it's normal Icelandic usage to refer to her as just Björk in second reference.
