[edit] History

[edit] Release and reception

Strictly Physical received a mixed reception, with most professional critics calling the longplayer a "more mature and individual" but generally "well-snitched" output in comparison with the band's debut album.^[1] However, although the album failed to reprise the huge success of Temptation, missing a number-one peak anywhere, it became another success for the band: It debuted at number 2 on the German Media Control albums chart and reached the top 10 in Austria and Switzerland, shipping more than 90.000 copies in its first week of release.^[2] As of January 2008, Strictly Physical has been certified gold by both the Austrian and the German brunch of the IFPI for more than 10,000 and 100,000 sold copies respectively.^[3][4]

The album spawned three singles, however, a fourth was scrapped in favour of production of a new album.^[4] Lead single "Hot Summer" became band's second number-one hit in Austria, Germany and Switzerland and one of the biggest-selling songs of the year on German online music stores^[5], also obtaining success in Scandinavia, Eastern Europe and the Benelux states.^[6] Follow-up "Strictly Physical" became Monrose's first top 10 entry on the Polish Top 50 since debut release "Shame" (2006), while ballad "What You Don't Know" became their fifth consecutive top 10 single in Germany, although it failed to reach the top 20 in Switzerland.

• "Just like That" contains a sample of Olive's 1996 song "You're Not Alone"
