BABY, CAN YOU TELL ME
JUST WHERE WE FIT IN
I CALL IT LOVE
THEY CALL IT
LIVING IN SIN
is the fourth
studio album
by American
rock band
released on
September 19, 1988,
by Mercury Records.
The album was produced
by Bruce Fairbairn
and recorded at
Little Mountain Sound Studios
in Vancouver,
British Columbia, Canada.
The album was the
follow-up to
the band's
third album,
Slippery When Wet,
and reached
number one
on the
Billboard 200 chart
in its second week
of release after
debuting at
number eight.
It remained at the top
for four consecutive weeks.
The album was named
after the band's
home state of
New Jersey.
It produced five
Billboard Hot 100
top ten hits,
the most top ten hits
to date for any
hard rock album,
including
"Bad Medicine"
and
"I'll Be There for You",
which both reached
number one.
The album was certified
7× platinum
by the
Recording Industry
Association of America
(RIAA).
The album also debuted
at number one
in the UK
and was the band's
first UK
No. 1 album.
New Jersey
was released by
the Soviet
state-owned record label
Melodiya,
being the first
American album
to be officially released
in the USSR
Background
The album was
recorded very shortly
after the
Slippery When Wet Tour,
because the band
wanted to prove that
they were not just
going to be a
one hit wonder.
The album was
initially planned
to be a double album;
however,
this idea was rejected
by the record label
because they were skeptical
about the higher
price point
and decided they
would only release
a single album.
One working title
for the album was
Sons of Beaches,
which alluded
to the title of
Slippery When Wet.
