''Pump'' is the tenth studio album recorded by American hard rock band Music/{{Aerosmith}}. It was released through Creator/GeffenRecords on September 12, 1989.
The Boston band was riding high on a new wave of popularity, primed with a 1986 tag-team release with Music/RunDMC on a cover of "Walk This Way", and solidified with the 1987 album ''Permanent Vacation'', which spawned three hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
For this album, they didn't mess with a good thing too much. They recorded again at Little Mountain Sound in Vancouver, with Bruce Fairbairn producing. They wrote 19 different songs over the first half of 1989, and were able to distill it down to ten.
For its sound, they wanted something less refined than ''Permanent Vacation'' had ended up. As a result of this desire to emphasize that they had no rules, there was plenty of sexuality to go around.

The drug references definitely leaned far more on the side of "bad", as they sought to emphasizer that they had finally gotten clean after the drug abuse that nearly derailed their careers in the late [[TheSeventies 70s]] and early [[TheEighties 80s]].
It would end up being an astounding success. ''Pump'' would reach #5 on the Billboard 200 album chart, and #3 on the Official Charts Company album chart. It would reach #4 on the year-end Billboard 200 album chart for 1990, and #73 for the decade-end Billboard 200 album chart for TheNineties. It would go seven-times Platinum in the both the United States and Canada, and Gold in the United Kingdom.
Six singles were spawned from the album: "Love in an Elevator", "F.I.N.E.", "Janie's Got a Gun", "What It Takes", "The Other Side", and "Monkey on My Back". Four of those songs would be hits on the Billboard Hot 100 (three of them in the Top 10), and three #1's on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.
"Janie's Got a Gun" would win Best Rock Performance by a Dou or Group with Vocal at the 33rd Grammy Awards.
