Bon Jovi rose to superstardom in 1986 when their single "You Give Love a Bad Name" shot to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Their follow-up, "Livin' on a Prayer" hit #1 as well. The rest is pop/rock history. In fact, Bon Jovi has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Speaking on Bon Jovi songs, I am including what I consider to be his five best radio hits. There have been a bunch of great ones, but these are my absolute favorites.
#5- WHO SAYS YOU CAN'T GO HOME- Bon Jovi w/ Jennifer Nettles
Yes! Back in 2006, Jon Bon Jovi had gone country for this big #1 Billboard hit. In fact, on the year-end Billboard Country chart, it was the #9 song of the year.
#4- THIS AIN'T A LOVE SONG
This wasn't a huge hit by Bon Jovi. It peaked at #14 back in '95 as the first single from the These Days album. But I freaking love it. Still.
#3- ALWAYS
THE definition of POWER BALLAD. The first single from Bon Jovi's Cross Road album peaked at #4, but it shows all the "peaks" of Jon's voice. He smashes the vocals on this song. Chills.
#2- LIVIN' ON A PRAYER
For me, there are a few true "stadium" anthems. For example- Queen's "We Will Rock You" is the pure definition of one. But so is this. You want a concert arena to lose its collective mind. Play this!
#1- BORN TO BE MY BABY
It's easy to forget this song. It was the follow-up to"Bad Medicine", the first single off Bon Jovi's New Jersey album and a massive #1. "Born to Be My Baby" peaked at #3 on the Billboard Chart, but it remains my all-time favorite Bon Jovi song.
What are YOUR favorites? And the better question is this. Will you be singing them along with band on the Bon Jovi 2022 Tour?
