Volta by Björk
Volta is an album by Björk, released in 2007. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 6 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Earth Intruders”, on 6 lists with a best position of #31.
Volta, Björk's sixth studio album, landed on 1 May 2007 through One Little Indian, and after the voice-only experiment of Medúlla it's the Icelandic singer flinging the doors open and letting the drums back in. She brought in Timbaland and Danja, with Danja sharing the production credit, kept her longtime collaborator Mark Bell close, and came out with her most pop-minded record in years: big, clattering, tribal beats and that voice cutting straight through the din.
Lead single "Earth Intruders" stomps like a marching army and gave her a second-ever entry on the Billboard Hot 100. The album became her first and only US top-10 album, sat on top of the electronic albums chart for nine weeks, and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Music Album. She took it on the road for 18 months, her first tour in four years, and the expanded Voltaïc set followed in 2009.
