Reload (album)

Reload is the title of an album, released in 1999 by Welsh singer Tom Jones.
After a lengthy career, and a notable absence from the music charts for several years, Jones resurrected his career with this album of 14 cover versions and 3 original tracks (Sexbomb, Looking Out My Window and Sometimes We Cry) recorded as duets with current artists. To ensure that the finished product retained the sound of these artists, he also recorded the tracks in the same studios these artists used, and also used their record producers.
The album became the highest seller of Jones' career, reaching number one on the British charts in 1999 and again in 2000. It has sold more than 6 million copies worldwide. The album was not released immediately in the US with Jones' US record company stating that many of the artists were not known outside of the UK. Jones announced plans to record additional tracks with well known US artists to prepare the album for US release. This did not occur.
