Английская Википедия:Aldo Nova (album)
Aldo Nova is the debut studio album by Canadian rock musician Aldo Nova, released on January 18, 1982. It reached number 8 on the Billboard 200 and was certified Gold by the RIAA on May 14, 1982, Platinum on February 14, 1989, and Double Platinum on December 5, 1994.[1] Both of the singles released from the album charted on the Hot 100, "Foolin' Yourself" at No. 65 and "Fantasy" at No. 23.[2]
Due to the fact that he only had one top 40 hit in America, Aldo Nova is typically categorized as a one-hit wonder; for example, "Fantasy" was listed at No. 77 on VH1's list of the 100 greatest '80s one-hit wonders.[3]
Release, reception and legacy
Шаблон:Album ratings Released on April 1 in 1982, to commercial success, this album stands as Nova's most commercially successful to date. After the album was released, Aldo purposely avoided the spotlight and tried to stay out of the public eye.[4]
AllMusic's Bret Adams gave the album 4 and 1/2 stars and said that, "Aldo Nova doesn't get enough credit for helping invent the 1980s pop-metal genre, which focused equally on hard rocking anthems and soaring power ballads".[5]
For the 35th anniversary of Aldo Nova's debut, he re-recorded 6 tracks of this album and gave it a more modern touch.[4]
