Release and Reception
Described by Allmusic as "the most calculatedly commercial album of Iggy's career", Blah-Blah-Blah was certified gold in Canada (more than 50,000 copies sold) and reached top ten status in many European countries. In the U.S. it peaked at #75 on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart. Rolling Stone's contemporary review complained of a "nagging homogeneity to side one" but continued that "even at its most familiar, Blah-Blah-Blah is as spiritually outraged and emotionally direct as commercial pop gets these days".
