Californication is the Chili Peppers' most commercially successful studio release with over 16 million copies sold worldwide and more than 5 million in the U.S. alone. As of 2002, the album had sold over 4 million copies in Europe. The album produced several hits including "Otherside", "Californication", and the Grammy-award winning "Scar Tissue".
Following the quadruple-platinum smash 1991 release Blood Sugar Sex Magic, The Red Hot Chili Peppers revitalized and reunited for their first album in four years and perhaps their most anticipated album ever. Most importantly, Californication marked the homecoming of guitarist John Frusciante, a key ingredient in the group's most successful albums. His return signaled the energized re-emergence of one of rock's premier emotional, powerful and exciting bands.
