18 by Moby
18 is an album by Moby, released in 2002. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 24 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “We Are All Made of Stars”, on 18 lists with a best position of #31.
18, Moby's sixth studio album, came out in May 2002, on Mute in Britain and V2 in America, and it had the unenviable job of following Play, the slow-burning sleeper that had turned into a global smash. He started writing it on the Play tour and got down to work when that tour wrapped in December 2000, producing it himself and leaning on samples less than before. The guest list picks up some of the slack: Sinéad O'Connor, Angie Stone, MC Lyte and Azure Ray all step up to the mic. The mood is hushed, melancholy and widescreen, soulful voices floating over drifting house and trance textures, with "We Are All Made of Stars" as its shimmering, big-hearted centerpiece.
It went to number one in 12 countries, the UK among them, reached number 4 in the US and sold more than 4 million copies worldwide. A companion set of B-sides and live footage, 18 B Sides + DVD, followed a year later.
