Hard & Hot (Best of Bon Jovi) is the first compilation album by American glam metal band Bon Jovi, released exclusively in Australia through Mercury Records and Phonogram Inc. in 1991.[1] The album features tracks from the band's first three albums, and although it did not enter the ARIA top 100 albums chart, it peaked at number 44 on the Australian Music Report albums chart and remained in the top 100 for seven weeks.[2] The album exposed tracks from the band's first two albums, Bon Jovi and 7800° Fahrenheit, to the Australian market for the first time as both albums failed to chart upon their original release in 1984 and 1985, respectively.[2]
