"Billion Dollar Babies," the sixth studio album by the American rock band Alice Cooper, released on February 27, 1973, by Warner Bros. Records. This album was a massive success, reaching number one on the album charts in both the United States and the United Kingdom, and it was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. Produced by Bob Ezrin, it features some of the band’s most iconic tracks, including "Elected," "Hello Hooray," "Billion Dollar Babies," and "No More Mr. Nice Guy," all of which became hits on the Billboard Hot 100. The album’s lyrics delve into provocative themes like necrophilia, dental fear, horror, and sexual harassment, wrapped in a theatrical mix of hard rock and glam.

The title reflects the band’s astonishment at their own success, as Alice Cooper himself explained: it was about a group that went from obscurity to being the biggest band in the world, almost like "billion dollar babies." Recording took place in Connecticut and London, and the album clocks in at 40 minutes and 51 seconds, making it the longest studio effort by the original Alice Cooper band. It’s been widely praised by critics like Robert Christgau and Greg Prato of AllMusic, though The Rolling Stone Album Guide gave it a more modest two and a half stars.
