Cross Road is the first official greatest hits album by American rock band Bon Jovi, released on October 11, 1994, by Mercury Records. The album contains hits from all previously released albums from their debut, Bon Jovi (1984) to Keep the Faith (1992). The album also features two new tracks: the hit singles "Always" and "Someday I'll Be Saturday Night", as well as a new, updated rendition of "Livin' on a Prayer" entitled "Prayer '94" available only on the North American versions.

Contents

"Runaway" was never recorded with the current band, though at that time there were plans to put a "Runaway '94" on the album but it was never recorded. The diner located on the cover of the album is the Roadside Diner in Wall Township, NJ, near the crossroads of Route 33 and Route 34.

The album's first single "Always" went top five in many countries. It spent six months in the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 and became Bon Jovi's biggest selling single in the United States. Its international success helped the album to peak at number one in 13 countries and made it Polygram Records' best-selling album of 1994. [6] It is Bon Jovi's best selling album in many countries, and continues to sell well. It has sold over 21.5 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. [7]

In 2005, Cross Road was re-issued as a 3-disc box set under the name "Deluxe Sound & Vision", which included the original remastered album, a bonus CD containing B-sides, rarities and fan favourites, and the Live from London DVD. The original remastered album was released in 1998. A video, also entitled Cross Road , was simultaneously released, containing 16 of the band's music videos.

Release and reception

In the United States, the album debuted and peaked at number 8 on the Billboard 200 the week of November 5, 1994, with 84,000 copies sold, the next week it dropped to number 13 and remained on the chart for fifty seven weeks. [8] [9] It was certified four times platinum by the RIAA on October 15, 1998, denoting shipments of four millions. [10] According to Nielsen SoundScan, the album has sold 4,951,000 copies in the US as of September 2011, including 324,000 copies sold in 2006. [11] [12]

In the United Kingdom, Cross Road debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and spent a total of five non-consecutive weeks atop the chart, [13] later becoming the best-selling album of 1994. The album was certified six times platinum by the BPI. [14] The album topped the charts in several other European countries, including Austria, [15] Denmark, [16] Germany, [17] Italy, [18] Portugal, [19] and Switzerland. [20] In 2007, it was also certified octuple platinum by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry for selling 8 million copies across Europe. [21]

The album became Bon Jovi's first number-one set in Japan, where it has sold more than 1.1 million copies. [22] It spent two weeks at number one in Australia [23] and in 2022 it was certified thirteen-times platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association for shipments exceeding 910,000 copies. [24] The album also debuted at number three on the New Zealand Albums Chart, peaking at number one in its second week [25] and later being certified sextuple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand. [26]

The album itself won Metal Edge magazine's 1994 Readers' Choice Awards for "Album of the Year" and "Best Hits or Compilation Album". Its namesake home video was voted "Best Video Cassette," and the single "Always" was voted "Song of the Year" and "Best Video Clip". [27]
