Shine On is the second album by Melbourne rock band Jet, released in early October 2006. The title of the album was revealed on the band's website homepage.

iTunes leaked the album in the Australian and UK stores on 16 September 2006, over two weeks before the actual release date.^[1] After iTunes leaked the album, Shine On made its way onto file sharing sites through forums of similar bands.

On 23 September 2006, Triple J premiered the album on its Music Specials show along with interviews with the band. A day later, Nova 100 played the entire album on the radio as a preview.

The album debuted at #3 on the Australian ARIA Albums chart the week of 8 October 2006. It has also gone platinum (70,000+ units shipped).^[2] It also debuted and peaked at number 13 on the Official UK Top 75 Albums Chart and 16 on the Billboard 200, but quickly fell out of the top 100 within four weeks.

[edit] History

NME first reported in June 2006 that the tracks *"L'espirit D'escalier", "Holiday", "Hey Kids" (for the U.S. version only), "Shiny Magazine", "Eleanor", and "All You Have To Do" were set to appear on the album.^[6]

"Hey Kids" was released on the Elektra soundtrack but the band liked it so much, they revived it for this album.

An article in Australian newspaper The Herald Sun includes information on the following songs:^{[citation needed]}

"All You Have To Do":

The album will open and close with a track currently titled "All You Have To Do". "It was a difficult song to finish because we were trying to find the answer to the question and everything sounded cheesy.

"Eleanor"

Eleanor sounds like it's from the '40s.

"King's Horses"

There's one track, King's Horses, which is this nursery rhyme which talks a bit about the bitterness we felt over the past two years.

"Shiny Magazines"

And there's Shiny Magazines which has the Phil Spector vibe.

"Shine On"

The song "Shine On" was written by Nic to comfort his family after his father's death." "It was inevitable I would write a song that dealt with all of that, but it was almost too big a subject for me to handle," Nic says. "Then I got a phone call from my mum saying everyone was fucked so I wrote the song through Dad's eyes, what he would say to help everyone through. We recorded it in one take, but it was fucking emotional, very heavy. We couldn't be happier with this album.

"Don't Worry Baby" (now renamed "Coming Home Soon" - see above), "Do It All Yourself" and "I Only Like You When I'm High" were all slated to appear on the album at one point or another. Since "I Only Like You..." is now appearing as a b-side to "Bring it on Back" we can assume the other songs will too, or be held on until the next album.
