Bon Jovi's seventh studio album, Crush, was released on June 13, 2000. It was their first studio album after a five-year hiatus from recording. Although Bon Jovi had never been a critical favorite, they had been consistent best-sellers around the globe. Crush re-established this reputation, with typical catchy choruses and anthemic, metal riffs. "It's My Life" was particularly ubiquitous in the United States and UK.

Approximate sales were in excess of two million copies, making the album double platinum in the USA and with sales over 9 million copies world wide, making it a best seller.

The album was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2001 Grammy Awards.Contents [hide]
