“Superman Tonight” is the latest single from THE CIRCLE, Bon Jovi’s 11^th studio album (released November 10^th).  In addition to its #1 Soundscan debut in the U.S., THE CIRCLE was top 10 in more than a dozen territories worldwide.

As Bon Jovi’s 25^th year celebration on record continues into 2010, the global success of THE CIRCLE and the release of “Superman Tonight” sets the stage for the band’s upcoming “The Circle World Tour.”  A 32-city North American itinerary opens the world tour, beginning February 19^th at KeyArena in Seattle, wrapping up four months later on July 30^th, at Soldier Field in Chicago.  Among the high points, Bon Jovi will play the kickoff event at New Jersey’s New Meadowlands Stadium, set for pre-Memorial Day on Wednesday-Thursday, May 26-27^th.

THE CIRCLE follows-up Bon Jovi’s worldwide multi-platinum albums: Have A Nice Day (2005), with the Grammy winning single, “Who Says You Can’t Go Home”; and Lost Highway (2007), which debuted at #1 in the U.S. and around the world.

Over the next two years, Bon Jovi’s “The Circle World Tour,” promoted by AEG Live, will play 135 shows in 30 countries. Having sold over 120 million albums and performed more than 2,600 concerts in over 50 countries for more than 34 million fans, the Grammy Award-winning band is at their best when they’re on the move, and that’s truer now than ever before.  THE CIRCLE album and world tour reassert Bon Jovi’s commitment to the hard-hitting rock and roll that has been their indelible signature for more than 25 years.  Tickets for “The Circle World Tour” are on sale now for all North American concerts – information can be found at http://www.bonjovi.com/tour.

            (November 18, 2009 – New York, NY)  Legendary Island Records group Bon Jovi caps the celebration of their 25^th year on record with a second consecutive #1 Soundscan debut – as their 11^th studio album THE CIRCLE (released November 10^th) sails into the top spot on first week sales of 163,000 copies. 

“Coming after their #1-selling tour of last year, this #1 chart debut for Bon Jovi once again proves they have a loyal fan base that transcends every change in popular music,” said Antonio ‘L.A.’ Reid, Chairman, Island Def Jam Music Group.  “After two and a half decades of uninterrupted success, Bon Jovi continues to stay at the top of their game, with no signs of slowing down.” 

The new album’s success – which include #1 chart debuts in Canada, Japan and Germany, and a #2 debut in the UK – is fueled by the band’s current worldwide single, “We Weren’t Born To Follow.”  Bon Jovi performed the song live at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate on November 9^th, at the gala 20^th anniversary commemoration of the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.  The perform­ance was underscored by their appearance on the NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams.  “We Weren’t Born To Follow” stays inside the Top 10 at Hot AC radio formats, and the video is in its 4^th week on the VH1 Top 20 Countdown.

Bon Jovi’s appearance in Berlin capped two weeks of international promotion in advance of THE CIRCLE’s arrival.  On Veterans Day, Wednesday, November 11^th, the day after the album’s U.S. release, NBC Television “Artists-In-Residence” Bon Jovi performed live at the Today Show’s Rockefeller Plaza.  Two days later on Friday the 13^th, Bon Jovi launched the opening of the new Best Buy store on Union Square in Manhattan.

Upcoming live TV performances include: Bravo’s Inside The Actors Studio with James Lipton (Nov. 16); Ellen DeGeneres (Nov. 23); NBC’s The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien (Nov. 20); a return to the Today Show (Nov. 25); Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (Dec. 9); and Saturday Night Live (Dec. 12).

  "We Weren’t Born To Follow” was written (and co-produced) by Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, and was produced by John Shanks, who worked with Bon Jovi on their last two albums: Have A Nice Day (2005), which featured the Grammy winning single, “Who Says You Can’t Go Home”; and Lost Highway (2007), which debuted at #1 on the Soundscan charts in the U.S. and around the world.....

Bon Jovi’s 25 years on record is chronicled this year in filmmaker and photo­grapher Phil Griffin’s documentary film Bon Jovi: When We Were Beautiful (produced by Radical Media); and the publication of its companion book, Bon Jovi: When We Were Beautiful, the first ever officially authorized Bon Jovi book (HarperCollins, October 2009). 

Bon Jovi’s “The Circle World Tour,” promoted by AEG Live, will kick off in Seattle on February 19, 2010.  Over the next two years, the band will visit 30 countries for 135 shows. Bon Jovi’s last outing, the “Lost Highway World Tour,” was 2008’s top-grossing tour.  Tickets for “The Circle World Tour” are on sale now for all North American concerts – information can be found at http://www.bonjovi.com/tour.

Bon Jovi has set the standard for more than two decades as one of the most successful rock bands in the world.  Globally, the Grammy Award-winning band has sold more than 120 million albums and performed more than 2,600 concerts in over 50 countries for more than 34 million fans.
