John Mayer’s Continuum is getting a fresh look nearly 20 years after its September 2006 release. The 12-track album marked a major point in Mayer’s career, bringing blues, soul and pop influences together while putting more focus on his guitar playing and increasingly reflective songwriting.
A new Billboard ranking revisits every song on the album, including enduring favorites such as “Gravity,” “Stop This Train,” “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room” and “Waiting on the World to Change.” The record also includes “Belief,” “Vultures,” “Dreaming With a Broken Heart” and Mayer’s version of Jimi Hendrix’s “Bold as Love.”
Continuum became one of Mayer’s most successful releases and reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200. It also earned major Grammy recognition, including Best Pop Vocal Album, while “Waiting on the World to Change” won Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.
