New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Island Records) - Over 1 billion consumer impressions worldwide - encompassing social networks and traditional media - will support the November 9th release of Bon Jovi's brand new GREATEST HITS compilation on Island Records, featuring new single, "
What Do You Got?" - the fastest growing Hot AC single in Bon Jovi's history!
The project is topped by several high-profile campaigns - ranging from the ongoing "It's My Life Animoto Video Contest" at www.BonJovi.com/ItsMyLife; to the two-month Comcast takeover (reaching 26 million households); and a 45 minute "Live on Letterman" webcast concert performance (presented by AT&T) on the release date, November 9th, in conjunction with the band's two-song broadcast appearance on the show that same night.
Prior to Bon Jovi's Letterman date on November 9th, the band will perform live at the MTV EMAs in Madrid on November 7th, where they will be presented with the first-ever Global Icon Award. The next night, November 8th marks the premiere of the Bon Jovi movie One Night Only, documenting their historic concerts at the New Meadowlands Stadium in New Jersey in May 2010. One Night Only will premiere on over 750 movie screens worldwide.

Another historic event will take place on Veterans Day, November 11th, when New York's WPLJ radio presents Bon Jovi Live from the Best Buy Theater in Times Square, at which the band will give fans an intimate sneak preview of their upcoming 2011 world tour.
