1986 was a significant year for glam metal music as one of the most commercially significant releases of the era was put out by Bon Jovi with "Slippery When Wet" which mixed hard rock with a pop sensibility, and spent a total of eight weeks at the top of the "Billboard" 200 album chart, selling over 12 million copies in the United States. It became the first hard rock album to spawn three top ten singles, two of which reached number one. The album has been credited with widening the audience for the genre, particularly by appealing to women as well as the traditional male dominated audience, and opening the door to MTV and commercial success for other bands at the end of the decade.
