New Bon Jovi single 'Legendary' released just under an hour ago, apparently from a new album titled 'Forever' - following on from their 2020 #5 album '2020'.

 

It’s very watered down Bon Jovi but I do quite like this. The chorus is quite catchy.

^Yeah, basically this. 2020 had some great songs on it, hopefully this will have too.

Yeah I'm quite enjoying it, sounds very summery!

I like it, I think a radio hit but chart flop.

I don't think there's any expectations for it to make the chart though!

Top 100 would be a success for Bon Jovi in 2024 imo!

Ya a top 100 would be a huge result for them but id love them to get a number 1 album this time as they havnt had a number 1 album since Crush in 2020.

a top 100 in singles is impossible I think

Yeah, in this day and age a top 100 is completely out of the question (nothing from the previous three albums troubled the top 100, their last hit was in 2013). The best they'll be hoping for is that the album goes top 5 - they currently have an unbroken run of 12 top five studio albums stretching back to New Jersey in 1988!

Yeh the 2013 single was following the XF performance I think as well wasnt it?

I don't think so - they only performed on The X Factor in 2010.

 

'Because We Can' charted pretty decently worldwide, I guess it just got a good push.

Ah I see thought the XF one was the final top 40 hit!

Second single 'Living Proof' is out tomorrow:

It’s another decent enough single - I’m not sure the talkbox quite works here though.

 

I prefer legendary but still like this aswell, im looking forward to the album.

This is easily better than 'Legendary'!

Both are good in their own way and a good start to the album, i dont think the new album will be breaking any new boundaries which is fine with me as they do what they do well.

Number 1 in todays mids so im just hoping they can hold on.

It's very much a Bon Jovi by numbers album but that's no bad thing. Not their best but far from their worst, there's a few songs on it I'm really enjoying, particularly 'Waves' and 'Seeds'.
