Gravity's Rainbow is Pat Benatar's ninth studio album, and tenth album overall, released in 1993. It peaked at No. 85 on the US Billboard 200.[3] The album is named after, though bears little other relation to, the Thomas Pynchon novel of the same name. This record sold close to 160,000 copies - according to Nielsen SoundScan - and would be Benatar's last studio album recorded on the Chrysalis Records label.

This album is out of print.
