This Day in Music History: Bon Jovi/Slippery When Wet (08/18)

Slippery When Wet is the third studio album by American rock band Bon Jovi, released on this day in 1986. The album spent eight weeks at #1 on the U.S. Billboard album chart and was named by Billboard as the top-selling album of 1987. Slippery When Wet is the band's best-selling album to date, with a certification of 12× Platinum and reportedly over 25 million copies sold worldwide.


Slippery When Wet was an instant commercial success. The album features songs that are today considered Bon Jovi's most well-known tracks, such as "You Give Love a Bad Name" (#1), "Livin' on a Prayer" (#1) and "Wanted Dead or Alive" (#7). The album also featured "Never Say Goodbye" which hit #28.

Friday and the Random Ten (College Football Returns Edition)

Well it's about time! College football returns this weekend (actually started last night) and I know millions of people are happy about it. NFL? Whatever. Take you deflated balls and go home. My beloved #3 Alabama Crimson Tide opens up tomorrow night with #20 Wisconsin. Gonna be a slobberknocker! How bout some music to get us fired up? If you're not fired up already something is wrong with you...

Friday and the Random 10 (Feeling That Way Edition)

Well we have finally reached that part of the year in Florida where there's a chance of rain or thunderstorms everyday (typically around 1:15 like clockwork). I know most of the country hasn't even hit spring yet, but down here we have been in almost summer conditions (i.e. humid and hot) for several weeks now. Our winter just never happened and it sucks. Game of Thrones was wrong. Winter isn't coming. Boo.

Before we get started though, how about that Random Ten last week? You can take a quick review by following this link, or trying to figure out the artists from the cool picture below:

Friday and the Random 10 (1987 Blockbuster Album Edition)

Well here we go for yet another week of randomness. I'm still feeling out the new format to see if I like it or not. I'm still worried about the time it takes, but as long as I can keep my Friday's off I should be okay. Yay for off days!

As a quick review of last week, you can follow this link, or check out the cool picture below: 


Highlights from last week

Yeah, that's a new thing too. Might as well use some of these programs I have all over my computer. This blog hasn't been this exciting since I started using verbs!

Friday and the Random 10

Well it's been a whole week since Halloween so you know what that means: Disney has gone into full Christmas mode. Thanksgiving? Never heard of it. The only turkeys around here are some of the songs that show up on the countdown. Like for instance, DDY went and got himself banned last week and Chicago got Tarkus'd three different times. This week? Hard to say, but we will see how it goes. Oh, and pass the mashed potatoes...
