Busted (Cheap Trick album)
Encyclopedia
Busted is an album by Cheap Trick
, which was released in 1990 and peaked at #44 on the US album charts. After the success of "The Flame" from the previous album Lap of Luxury
, the band recorded Busted with a similar format, especially on the single "Can't Stop Fallin' Into Love." The single peaked at #12 on the US charts. The album failed to be as successful as the label had hoped, and about a year after the release of Busted Epic Records
dropped Cheap Trick from their label. There were three videos shot for this LP; "Can't Stop Fallin' Into Love," "If You Need Me," and "Wherever Would I Be."
After being out of print for several years, the album was reissued in 2010 and combined onto one disc with the Found All The Parts
EP from 1980, which made little sense since Found All The Parts was already available as bonus tracks on the 2006 reissue of the 1980 album All Shook Up. "Everything Works If You Let It", a track recorded for the soundtrack to the 1980 film Roadie
, and the 1990 B-side "Big Bang" were also included on the disc.
The album was certified Gold in Canada for the sales of 50,000 copies in November 1990.
