Van Halen’s ninth studio album, For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, debuted at No. 1 during the summer of 1991, where it rained for three weeks. The album marked Van Halen ‘s the third consecutive No. 1 album from the band’s lineup at the time — singer Sammy Hagar, guitarist Eddie Van Halen, drummer Alex Van Halen, and bassist Michael Anthony. For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge also reached triple platinum certification and earned Van Halen its first Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance and American Music Award for Favorite Heavy Metal/Hard Rock Album.
