Question

How many records has Bon Jovi recorded?

Answer

The next album from Bon Jovi was New Jersey released in 1988. The album was recorded very shortly after the tour for Slippery, because the band wanted to prove that they were not just a one hit wonder. The resulting album is a fan favorite, a pop-rock masterpiece, and a mammoth commercial success, with hit songs such as "Bad Medicine", "Lay Your Hands On Me" and "I'll Be There For You", which are still nightly stalwarts in their live repertoire. New Jersey was a commercial smash and became the first hard rock album to spawn five Top Ten singles. "Bad Medicine" and "I'll Be There For You" both hit number one, and "Born to Be My Baby" (#3), "Lay Your Hands On Me (#7), and "Living in Sin" (#9) rounded out the list. "Blood on Blood" was also popular among fans. New Jersey was supported by video releases such as New Jersey: The Videos and Access All Areas, as well as a massive 18-month tour, originally billed "The Jersey Syndicate Tour". In 1989, the band headlined the Moscow Music Peace Festival. Despite the band achieving massive success, New Jersey almost led to the end of the band as they went straight back out on the road so soon after the heavy touring for their previous album. This constant living on the road almost destroyed the strong bond between Jon Bon Jovi and Sambora. As mentioned in Behind the Music, the band members note that at the end of the tour, each band member went their separate way and departed in separate jets. However, the band made it through and took a healthy break before their next studio effort. To date, the album has sold 17 million copies worldwide.
