Crush (album)

|
Bon Jovi's eighth album, Crush, was released on June 13, 2000 (see 2000 in music). While Bon Jovi had never been a critical favorite, they had been consistent best-sellers. Crush re-established this reputation, with typical catchy choruses and anthemic, metal riffs. "It's My Life" was particularly ubiquitous in the United States.
Approximate sales were in excess of two million copies, making the album double platinum.
