7800° Fahrenheit is Bon Jovi's second album, and was released in April 1985. The album charted at #37 on The Billboard 200.[3] It introduced the band's classic '80s logo that would later on be used on the covers of Slippery When Wet and New Jersey.

Approximate sales were in excess of one million copies.[citation needed] The singles "In and Out of Love" and "Only Lonely" both charted in the Billboard Hot 100 (although both failed to reach the top 40 status of "Runaway" from the previous album), and still get occasional airplay on US AOR and hard rock format radio stations.[citation needed]

The album was remastered and re-released in 1998, adding the music video for "In and Out of Love" as a bonus track.

The band has essentially disowned this album in recent years because they believe the material presented on it does not match the standards set on their later releases.[citation needed] Aside from extremely rare performances of the song 'Tokyo Road' in Japan and 'Only Lonely' appearing a select few times during the Circle Tour, nothing from this album has been performed live since the late 1980s.
