"Cher's Best Album"

"Cher's comeback album, "Believe", not only proved to the world that she had staying power in an industry that swallows careers thoughtlessly, but proved she could endear herself to a whole new generation of fans. Regarded as Cher's disco album, once the single "Believe" was released to radio stations, DJ's couldn't get it on the radio fast enough due to the many requests by listeners. "Believe" was also a huge dance single ultimately winning Cher the Grammy for Best Dance recording. The "Believe" album was certified Quadruple Platinum meaning it had sold four million copies in the United States. The record would ultimately sell 20,000,000 copies worldwide becoming Cher's highest selling album in her remarkable career.



"Believe" has really held up well over the last twelve years since its initial release. The songs are not dated which proves that the material Cher chose for this project was impeccably worked on by both the artist and her producers.



The title single would stay at #1 for an amazing four week run. Other outstanding tracks are "Strong Enough", "All or Nothing", "Runaway", and "The Power"."

A deserved triumph

"It is not a mystery why this disc was as successful as it became. Nine years after its initial release, the songs sound as fresh and enticing as they did when I first listened to it. The program is full of pulsating dance numbers: "Believe," "Strong Enough," "All Or Nothing." Cher reworks one of her moderate hits from the late 1980s, "We All Sleep Alone," into a beat-driven disco song. And "Dov'e L'Amore" is a song reminiscent of her Snuff Garrett days, appropriately modernized.



Cher's continuing ability to realign herself in center stage after a period of relative dormancy proved undiminished when "Believe" hit the airwaves. More importantly, it made people more aware of Cher's musical standing: She outlasted 99% of her contemporaries from the early '60s and her ability to entertain only grew as time passed. More than ever, we need to be reminded that its okay to have fun and there's no better person to remind us of that than Cher."

BELIVE in CHER !!!

THE POWER : Not danceable as BELIEVE but it's a good song to dance slow. I love it. It got something that you will feel in your heartbeat . I guess is one of the best slow tracks of her , but it's not a ballad but not a fast song ;) !! 4 / 5



RUNAWAY : My cher's favourite song !! 100% Electronica with Pop! I love it! It's like a dark song that would change the future! One of the best produced song ever! Love it !! 5 / 5
