The platinum albums, Have a Nice Day (2005) and Lost Highway (2007) had elements of country music in some of the songs, including the 2006 single, “Who Says You Can’t Go Home”, which won the band a Grammy Award and became the first single by a rock band to reach No. 1 on the country charts. Bon Jovi was inducted into the UK Music Hall-of-Fame in 2006, and into the US Rock & Roll Hall-of-Fame in 2018.
