While this set is exclusive to Japan, fans in other countries can purchase the package through CD Japan, Amazon Japan, and other online outlets that ship internationally.
Bon Jovi has ignited a renaissance amid their 40th anniversary this year. The group impressively claimed five spots on the Billboard Hard Rock Digital Song Sales Chart with “Livin’ On A Prayer” at No. 1, “It’s My Life” at No. 3, “You Give Love A Bad Name” at No. 4, “Wanted Dead Or Alive” at No. 6, and “Runaway” at No 8 earlier this year, garnering interest from the band’s Hulu documentary, Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story.
“Livin’ on a Prayer” was recently certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for achieving ten million in US sales and streams.
This morning (Aug 6th), the group received a VMA nomination for “Legendary” for Best Rock Song.
Last year, “Prayer” gave the New Jersey rockers its second video in YouTube’s Billion Views Club. They now have earned three with “Always” and “You Give Love A Bad Name.”
In June, the group released its 16th studio album, Forever, via Island Records. The album features the blockbuster single “Legendary” along with “Living Proof.” Upon its release in March, “Legendary” vaulted to the top of the Billboard Digital Song Sales Chart and No. 2 on the Rock Digital Song Sales Chart, climbing to the Top 20 on the Adult Pop Airplay Chart.
In January, the band released three new 40th anniversary editions of its self-titled album via Island/UMR. The releases officially kicked off the Bon Jovi 40 campaign and are accompanied by various 1984-era merchandise and a 40th anniversary celebration trailer.
In conjunction with the 66th annual Grammy Awards, Jon Bon Jovi was named 2024 MusiCares Person Of The Year and was honored with an all-star tribute concert at the LA Convention Center featuring Bruce Springsteen, Shania Twain, Melissa Etheridge, Sammy Hagar, Jason Isbell, Jelly Roll, Pat Monahan of Train, and many others.
Last fall, the band teamed with Hasbro for a Bon Jovi-branded version of Monopoly. The Hasbro-produced game includes six collectible tokens — 40th Anniversary Heart & Dagger logo, The Have a Nice Day Smirk Face, The Diamond Superman Logo, the band’s home state of New Jersey, the classic Skull logo, and Jon Bon Jovi’s Famous Acoustic Guitar.
In June, the band opened JBJ’s Nashville in Nashville’s Lower Broadway honky-tonk bar district. Positioned to stand out amid traditional bars on the strip, JBJ’s towers as the tallest and second largest bar by square footage, boasting 37,000 square feet dedicated to a rock ‘n’ roll revolution along with carrying forward the roots of country music from Nashville’s storied history.
