7800° Fahrenheit is Bon Jovi's second album, and was released in April 1985. It introduced the classic '80s Bon Jovi logo that would later on be used in Slippery When Wet and New Jersey.
Lead singer Jon Bon Jovi explained that the title referred to the temperature at which stone liquefied; as the Fahrenheit scale is primarily used only in the United States, "7800° Fahrenheit" thus suggested "American hot rock." (7800° Fahrenheit≈4313,3° Celsius)
Approximate sales were in excess of one million copies.[citation needed] The singles "In and Out of Love" and "Only Lonely" both charted in the Billboard Hot 100 (although both failed to reach the top 40 status of "Runaway" from the previous album), and still get occasional airplay on US AOR and hard rock format radio stations.[citation needed]
The band has essentially disowned this album in recent years because they believe the material presented on it does not match the standards set on their later releases. Aside from a single performance of the song 'Tokyo Road' in Osaka, Japan in 2001, nothing from this album has been performed live in over 15 years.
