Шаблон:Infobox album Шаблон:Music ratings Cher is the eighteenth studio album by American singer-actress Cher, released on November 10, 1987 by Geffen Records.[1] The album has been certified Platinum in the US by the RIAA and Gold in Australia by ARIA and the UK by BPI.[2][3]

Background

Five years after the release of Cher's last album, I Paralyze, and her decision to focus on a film career, Cher signed with Geffen Records (which would later absorb one of her former labels, MCA Records) and was rushed to the studio to record what would become her comeback album. The album, Cher, was released in the fall of 1987 and was produced by Michael Bolton, Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and Desmond Child. Among the notable guest artists, Bonnie Tyler and Darlene Love were backing vocalists on "Perfection".

After a series of pop and disco records, Cher moved to a radio-friendly rock sound, which helped her get back onto the charts. The album includes a new version of her 1966 hit "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)", Michael Bolton's "I Found Someone"—which Bolton and Mark Mangold had originally written for Laura Branigan, released on her 1985 album Hold Me—several songs written by Desmond Child, and two by Diane Warren, who would go on to write many more songs for the singer.[4]

This was also her third album to be named Cher or Chér, as Gypsys, Tramps and Thieves was initially released under the name Chér before it was retitled following the success of the single of the same name,[5] while a studio album in 1966 was also titled Chér.

Reception

The album reached No. 26 in the UK and peaked at No. 32 on the US Billboard albums chart.[6] The first single released from the album and its only UK top 10 hit was "I Found Someone", which reached No. 5 in the UK and No. 10 in the US.[7] The second single, "We All Sleep Alone", peaked at No. 14 on BillboardШаблон:'s Hot 100 chart and just missed breaking the Adult Contemporary top 10 in the US, reaching No. 11.[7] It was less successful in the UK, however, peaking at No. 47. The album's third single was "Skin Deep". The fourth and final single was "Main Man", released in the US and Australia in October 1988.

"Bang Bang", was released as a promotional single in Europe.

Promotion

On November 13, 1987, Cher appeared on Late Night with David Letterman, where she performed "I Found Someone" and "I Got You Babe", the latter with ex-husband Sonny Bono.[8] Later released on VHS, the Late Night performance would be her last with Bono before his death. On November 21, Cher appeared as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live, performing "I Found Someone" and "We All Sleep Alone".[9] The album was also promoted on UK television.
