Believe is the twenty-second studio album by American singer-actress Cher, first released on October 22, 1998 by WEA and distributed in North America by Warner Bros. Records. Following the failure of her previous studio album It's a Man's World, her record company encouraged her to return to the studio to pursue a new musical direction. Recording took place over the summer at the Dreamhouse Studios in London and the Soundworks Studios in New York under the guidance of English producers Mark Taylor and Brian Rawling. The album was dedicated to her ex-husband Sonny Bono, who died earlier that year.

Believe represents a complete musical departure from her previous works, consisting of dance-pop and Eurodance oriented styles, yet it includes a broader range of various musical genres such as techno, house, disco and Latin[citation needed] while its lyrical topics include freedom, individualism and relationships. The album features some of the new technology of the time, like the usage of Auto-tune, which would eventually become known as the "Cher effect". Upon release, the album received mixed reviews from music critics, who commended Cher's vocal performance, while others criticized the high amount of vocoder and its overall production. It won one Grammy for "Best Dance Recording" from a total of three nominations.

Commercially, Believe proved to be extremely successful, peaking at number four on the Billboard 200 and was certified quadruple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for shipment of four million copies across the United States. The record reached the peak position in Austria, Canada, Denmark, Germany, New Zealand and Portugal, and charted within' the top ten in France, Spain, United Kingdom, United States and several other international territories.

Four singles were released from the album. The first single, "Believe", became one of the biggest-selling singles ever by topping the charts in a total of 23 countries and has sold more than 10 million copies."Strong Enough" was released as the second single from the album; it peaked at numbers 57 and 5 in the US and UK, respectively. "All or Nothing" and "Dov'è l'amore" were released as the third and fourth singles respectively, both becoming moderately successful. In order to support Believe, Cher embarked on her sixth concert tour entitled the Do You Believe? Tour which became one of the highest grossing tour ever for a female artist at that time. 

Dancing Queen, è #1 su Billboard Top Sales Album!

Mamma mia! A 72 anni, il nuovo album di Cher "Dancing Queen" ha debuttato alla posizione numero #3 della classifica Billboard 200 Album.... Ma non solo!

Il disco è al primo posto della classifica Billboard "Top Sales Album", raggiungendo la prima posizione grazie alle ingenti vendite pure di Dancing Queen durante la settimana. La posizione è la più alta raggiunta da una donna nel 2018!

 

A 72 anni, negli Usa, durante la prima settimana dalla pubblicazione dell'album, Cher è riuscita a vendere un totale di 153.000 copie, delle quali, ben 150.000 sono vendite pure, vendite fisiche del disco, contro le restanti 3.000 provengono dagli streams di Spotify!

Attualmente, questi numeri indicano Dancing Queen come l'album REALMENTE più venduto della settimana. Infatti, il primo album della Billboard 200, "The Carter V" del rapper Lil Wayne che "ha battuto" Dancing Queen, lo ha fatto soltanto grazie alle 339.000 copie imputate da Billboard per gli streams delle singole canzoni. Il disco, parlando di copie pure vendute, ne ha soltanto vendute 141.000! Stessa storia per l'album della seconda posizione, il nuovo di Logic, soltanto 125.000 copie vendute effettive! 

Brava Cher!

 

Dancing Queen, the #1 Billboard's Top Sales Album !

Mamma Mia! Cher's new album of ABBA covers, "Dancing Queen," has debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard album chart.

But that's not all. The icon, 72, tied the record for her highest-charting solo album ever and it also scored the biggest sales week of the year for any pop album by a woman, according to Billboard. 

 

 

"Dancing Queen" sold 153,000 units but amazingly enough, 150,000 of those were actual album sales.

 

That makes it the best-selling actual album of the week. The No. 1 album, "Tha Carter V" by Lil Wayne, sold more overall units but most of those came from adding up millions of streams of individual songs.
