Crash! Boom! Bang! is Roxette's fifth album, released on April 9 1994.

It was badly marketed by EMI America, a smaller album was made available as a special deal at the McDonald's restaurant chain, called Favorites From Crash! Boom! Bang!. The Japanese version includes the track Almost Unreal. In the UK also a vinyl album was released. By 1994, vinyl was already dying.

Sleeping in My Car, Crash! Boom! Bang!, Fireworks, Run To You and Vulnerable were released as singles.
