On this day September 12, 1989, Aerosmith released their 10th studio album Pump. The album was a massive success, reaching #5 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and peaking at #3 in the UK. Pump featured some of Aerosmith’s most iconic tracks, including Love in an Elevator and Janie’s Got a Gun, both of which became huge hits and solidified the band’s comeback in the late 80s.

The album is known for its high-energy rock anthems and dynamic storytelling, and it played a pivotal role in Aerosmith’s resurgence as one of the top rock bands in the world. With Pump, the band embraced a slightly harder edge while maintaining their signature bluesy sound, leading to widespread critical and commercial acclaim.

Fun Fact!

Pump earned Aerosmith their first Grammy Award for Janie’s Got a Gun in the Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group category, cementing their legacy in rock history.
