Bon Jovi landed their first #1 album with their third studio release, Slippery When Wet.
The album spent eight weeks on top of the chart and went on to be certified 12-times Platinum by the RIAA.
The record featured their signature tune, “Livin’ On A Prayer,” as well as “You Give Love A Bad Name” and “Wanted Dead or Alive.” It’s the New Jersey rockers’ bestselling album to date.
Slippery When Wet was the first of four #1 albums for Bon Jovi. Their others are 1988’s New Jersey, 2007’s Lost Highway and 2009’s The Circle.
Slippery When Wet has since gone on to be certified 15-times Platinum by the RIAA.
Bon Jovi, who is in the midst of celebrating their 40th anniversary, released a new album in 2024, Forever, which peaked at #5 on the Billboard 200 Album chart.
