What's New is an album of traditional pop standards released by American singer Linda Ronstadt in 1983. It represents the 1st in a trilogy of 1980s albums Ronstadt recorded with arranger Nelson Riddle. The album was a major change in direction because Ronstadt was then considered the leading female vocalist in rock. Both her record company and manager, Peter Asher, were very reluctant to produce this album with Ronstadt, but eventually her determination won them over and the albums exposed a whole new generation to the sounds of the pre-swing and swing eras. What's New was released in September 1983 and spent 81 weeks on the main Billboard album chart. The album also reached number 2 on the jazz albums chart. It was RIAA certified Triple Platinum for sales of over 3 million copies in the US alone. Global sales surpassed 5 million.
