7800° Fahrenheit is Bon Jovi's second album, and was released in April 1985.

Lead singer Jon Bon Jovi explained that the title referred to the temperature at which stone liquefied; as the Fahrenheit scale is primarily used only in the United States, "7800° Fahrenheit" thus suggested "American hot rock." (7800° Fahrenheit≈4313,3° Celsius)

Approximate sales were in excess of one million copies. The singles "In and Out of Love" and "Only Lonely" both charted in the Billboard Hot 100 (although both failed to reach the top 40 status of "Runaway" from the previous album), and still get occasional airplay on US AOR and hard rock format radio stations.

It is generally considered to be one of Bon Jovi's lesser efforts. Jon Bon Jovi had said that "it could have and should have been a better disk."

The album has generated some sort of a cult following among some fans, as the band never plays songs from this album anymore, and is not held in high regards by most fans or the band.
