Commercially, ''Crush'' became an international success, reaching the top of the charts in multiple territories. The album was certified double platinum in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America. The album helped introduce the band to a new generation of fans. ''Crush'' was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2001 Grammy Awards. Three singles were released from the album internationally: "It's My Life", "Say It Isn't So" and "Thank You For Loving Me", as well as a new, updated rendition of "One Wild Night" released a year later with the live album ''One Wild Night Live 1985–2001''. "It's My Life" became one of the band's most well-known songs, and one of their most successful singles, reaching number one in several countries and becoming the third best selling single of 2000. ==Background== After a five-year hiatus, Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora both released solo albums. In 1999, Jon Bon Jovi was planning to release his third solo album but the band started to work on their new album in summer of 1999. The working title of the album was "Sex Sells". Posters of this album are seen advertised in and around New York in the "Real Life" music video which was the bands most recent single leading into "Crush". Another working title was "One Wild Night". The name was dropped but later used for the live compilation album the following year. After the initial plan to team up hard-rock producers Bob Rock and Bruce Fairbairn fell through because of the latter's death,〔(Veteran Producer Bruce Fairbairn Dead At 49 )〕 an audition process was set up, but the band was uninterested by the top producers interviewed. Eventually Bon Jovi asked A&R executive John Kalodner if he knew up-and-coming producers, and he recommended Luke Ebbin. Ebbin was brought to Bon Jovi's home studio in New Jersey, and took a demo with only vocals and acoustic guitar to add programming, string and background vocal arrangements "so I could show him some of my abilities." Upon his return, Ebbin was hired.〔(Luke Ebbin Interview: on his work with Bon Jovi, new aspiring producers, and breaking classic artists in the digital world. )〕 The choice was a fortuitous one as it allowed Bon Jovi to update their sound with a smattering of loops and impressive arrangements. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Crush (Bon Jovi album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
