About The Last DJ

The Last DJ is the eleventh studio album by American rock band Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The title track, "Money Becomes King," "Joe" and "Can't Stop the Sun" are all sharp attacks on the greediness of the music industry. A "limited edition" digipack version of the album was also released, including a DVD of music videos and other footage shot during the album's production. The album reached #9 on the Billboard 200 aided by the single "The Last DJ" which hit #22 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks in 2002. As of 2010, The Last DJ had sold 353,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
