RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS: CALIFORNICATION Seventh Studio Album (1999)

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS: CALIFORNICATION Album cover

Californication is the seventh studio album by Red Hot Chili Peppers, released on June 8, 1999, on Warner Bros. Records. It was produced by Rick Rubin. Along with Blood Sugar Sex Magik, Californication is one of the band’s best selling albums.

Californication marked the return of the guitarist John Frusciante, who had previously appeared on Mother’s Milk and Blood Sugar Sex Magik, and shifted the band’s style. The lyrics incorporated the sexual innuendos already associated with the band, but added themes including death, suicide, California, drugs, globalization and travel.

Californication is the Chili Peppers‘ most commercially successful studio release internationally, with over fifteen million copies sold worldwide, and more than six million in the United States alone. As of 2002, the album had sold over four million copies in Europe. The record produced several hits for the band, including Otherside, Californication and the Grammy Award-winning Scar Tissue. Californication peaked at number three on the US Billboard 200.
