== The first artists to have three singles that were released in three different decades to reach over a billion views each on the same YouTube channel? == |

Not counting views on other uploads of the songs: It's My Life (2000), Livin' on a Prayer (1986), Always (1994). The 3rd is about to hit that mark. We just need to fact check other artists' views and it could be added to this article. ] (]) 05:40, 8 March 2024 (UTC) |

== Why is the glam metal label used as early when they were a big part and a iconic band of that genre? == |
|
|
|
|
|
First of all, I don't agree that the glam metal label should be first in the Bon Jovi article genres box but it definitely shouldn't be early. The reason why I say that is because the glam metal label for Bon Jovi wasn't some early useless genre on them like Pantera who also has the glam metal label but it says early. The big difference between the glam metal label on Bon Jovi compared to a band like Pantera is that the glam metal label was a big part on Bon Jovi. They are seen as a hair metal band, Slippery When Wet and New Jersey are their best selling albums and both were glam-metal. Their biggest hits were glam metal hits. I understand that Bon Jovi were able to move pass the genre once the demise for it happened but the influences were still there even in the 2000s with It's My Life and Have a Nice Day which was compared to their 80s stuff. Bon Jovi was a big part of the genre that it feels like having the label as early for them doesn't massively work when their best selling albums are glam-metal albums and their biggest hits are glam-metal songs as well. Bon Jovi's first 5 albums were all glam metal and the influences were there on Crush, Bounce, and even on Have a Nice Day. Therefore, I think it's appropriate for the glam metal label to either be second after hard rock or even third after arena rock. ] (]) 20:28, 25 March 2024 (UTC) |

:There's not much to say: They stopped doing hair metal after the 1980s, so adding "early" is appropriate. This also aligns with the musical style section https://en.wikipedia.org/Bon_Jovi#Musical_style --] (]) 03:27, 28 March 2024 (UTC) |

They did not stop doing hair metal after the 80s, Keep The Faith was still part of that. It wasn't until These Days came out when their sound definitely changed but even Crush (2000) had some hair metal influences such as the song One Wild Night. Some of the influences were still being around in the 2000s. The glam metal label should be second or third, it definitely shouldn't be early because early make it seem as if the genre wasn't that hugely relevant to them when it actually was. Their best selling albums are glam metal albums and their biggest singles are glam metal singles. Their music is definitely different now but even back in the early 90s, they were still doing glam metal. ( ] (]) 01:14, 30 March 2024 (UTC) ) |

Recent music videos and promo photos clearly show that they are official members even if not directly confirmed by the band. After all, even Hugh McDonald wasn’t formally confirmed as an official member besides his inclusion in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. ] (]) 16:41, 11 April 2024 (UTC) |

Hello, Everybody! You know, there's only one thing that makes me a little bit unsure whether John Shanks and Everett Bradley are already official members of Bon Jovi. Indeed, they both are (for example) in a new, promotional picture and in the band's most recent music videos (and that still makes me happy). However, on a few sites (including in the bio section on Spotify and on Instagram), I found another photo (from the same, recent session) that features just the 5-member line-up of Jon, David, Tico, Phil and Hugh. It would still be great if Everett and John really were in the band officially, but... Maybe they are still supporting members, since the 5-piece photo was also released to the public. What do You think about all of this? What the infobox and the "Band members" section should look like. All the best and all the kindest regards from a big Bon Jovi fan, all the way from Poland. Thanks for everything and take care, Everyone! |

Bon Jovi has 16 studio albums. They are all listed but the General section still says 15 albums since they put one out recently and that number was apparently not updated. ] (]) 21:44, 1 December 2024 (UTC) |
