Bon Jovi's seventh studio album, Crush, was released on June 13, 2000. It was their first studio album after a five-year hiatus from recording.

Approximate sales were in excess of two million copies, making the album double platinum in the USA and with sales over 11 million copies worldwide, it 6th biggest album bon jovi sold.

The album was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2001 Grammy Awards.
