These Days (Bon Jovi album) : ウィキペディア英語版 | These Days (Bon Jovi album)
''These Days'' is the sixth studio album by American rock band Bon Jovi, released in 1995. This was the first album Bon Jovi released after the dismissal of bassist Alec John Such. It was also the first album to feature unofficial bassist Hugh McDonald. The album, produced by Peter Collins, Richie Sambora and Jon Bon Jovi, was an overall darker album in contrast to the band's usual brand of feel-good, inspiring rock songs and love ballads. At the time of release, the album was a huge commercial hit, particularly in Europe and Japan. In Japan, the album debuted at number one on the Oricon chart with sales of 379,000, becoming the fastest selling album by a non-Japanese act in history of the country's chart. In the UK, ''These Days'' replaced Michael Jackson's album ''HIStory'' at number one on the UK Albums Chart and spent four consecutive weeks at #1.〔( UK Charts )〕 The album spawned four Top 10 singles on the UK Singles Chart, the band's highest number of Top 10 singles from one album in UK. The album also topped ''Billboard'' European Albums Chart for seven weeks. The high sales of the album in Europe warranted a re-issue of the album under the name of ''These Days Special Edition'' a year after its original release. The album was ranked number two on ''Q'' magazine's list of the "Top 50 albums of 1995".〔(Q magazine's list of the Top 50 albums of 1997 )〕 In 2006, the album featured in the Classic Rock & Metal Hammer's The "200 Greatest Albums Of The 90's".〔( Classic Rock and Metal Hammer 200 List )〕 In the U.S., despite selling 1 million copies and certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the album wasn't as successful as it was overseas and the album peaked at number nine on the ''Billboard'' 200. ==Background==
When the Keep the Faith Tour ended in December 1993, Jon Bon Jovi went on a vacation in January 1994 where he wrote "Something To Believe In", the first song written for the album. Over the next nine months, Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora wrote and demoed forty songs. The album was originally slated to be released in the fourth quarter of 1994, but they asked for more time to write additional material. Because of that, they released Cross Road, their first greatest hits album, with two new songs in October 1994.
