''The Sonny Side of Chér'' was in the chart with the second studio album of Sonny & Cher, ''The Wondrous World of Sonny & Cher''. The album follows the same formula of the previous album with rearranged covers and new songs written by Bono. ''The Sonny Side of Chér'' was overall less successful than the previous release, but produced bigger hits than the first album did. It contains Cher's first solo Top Ten hit, the Bono-penned song "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)". With "Bang Bang", Cher was definitively settled in the American pop culture.
