Telegram is a remix album by Icelandic singer-songwriter/musician Björk. It is a companion piece to her previous album Post, with Björk offering the album's tracks to the artists that she admired most so they could remix them in complete freedom. The cover was shot by Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki. All of the songs on Post were remixed, excluding "The Modern Things" and "It's Oh So Quiet" from which Björk had become keen to distance herself. The collection also included one new song entitled "My Spine" which was originally slated to appear on Post but pushed out by "Enjoy". Although the collection was unlikely to sell well to a mass audience, it was calculated chart-wise as being paired with the Post album and as a result, Post shot to number two on the UK Albums Chart. The album has sold 228,000 copies in U.S. according to SoundScan.
