Overview:
Billy Idol is the full-length solo debut by Billy Idol (following his solo EP Don't Stop in 1981). Preceded in June 1982 by the hit-single "Hot in the City", the album was released in July 1982. After the next single from the album, "White Wedding", entered the Top 40 a year later, Billy Idol was reissued with the addition of the earlier single "Dancing with Myself". "Hot in the City" was a bigger hit when re-released in the UK in 1988, peaking at #13 on the UK singles chart.

The song "White Wedding" (Part 1) is so-named due to the less-heard "White Wedding (Part 2)", (which is a more synthesizer-based continuation of the first part) that can be heard on the 12-inch version of the "White Wedding" single and the "Vital Idol" compilation.

The LP peaked at number 45 on the Billboard 200 and was certified Gold by RIAA in 1983.

Billy Idol’s self debut album Billy Idol was ok. I was never crazy about it. White Wedding and Hot in the City are the two popular songs of the album.
