Bon Jovi is a rock band hailing from Sayreville, New Jersey. Lead by singer and namesake Jon Bon Jovi, the group initally achieved huge success in the 1980s. Other bandmembers include guitarist Richie Sambora, keyboardist David Bryan, bassist Alec John Such, and drummer Tico Torres. Other than the departure of Alec John Such in 1994 (which pared the lineup down to a quartet), the lineup has remained the same for the past 25 years.

Over the past 25 years, Bon Jovi has sold over 120 million albums worldwide, including 34 million in the United States alone. The band made their hugely successful albums with Slippery When Wet (1986) and New Jersey (1988), which sold a combined 19 million copies in the U.S. alone, charted eight Top Ten hits (including four number one hits), and launched the band into global super stardom.

The band went on hiatus during the early 90's. In 1992, the band returned with the double platinum Keep the Faith and has since created a string of platinum albums throughout the 1990s and 2000s. In 2006, the band won a Grammy award for best Country Collaboration for "Who Says You Can't Go Home" with Jennifer Nettles from Sugarland and also became the only rock band to reach #1 on the Hot Country Songs chart for "Who Says You Can't Go Home." Other successful Grammy nominations came from the albums Crush, Bounce, and Lost Highway. Throughout Bon Jovi's career, the band has released ten studio albums, of which nine have gone platinum. In addition, the band has charted 19 singles to the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100, four of which reached #1 ("You Give Love a Bad Name", "Livin' on a Prayer", "Bad Medicine", and "I'll Be There for You"). The band also holds the record for the most weeks for a hard rock album at #1 on the Billboard 200 with Slippery When Wet, as well as the most Top 10 singles from a hard rock album.
