Wonderful is the fifth solo studio album and the eighth LP overall of English musician Adam Ant, released in March 1995 by EMI. It peaked at number 24 on the UK Album Chart and number 143 on the US Billboard 200 chart. The band for this album included Ant's long-time collaborator Marco Pirroni, along with ex-Ruts drummer Dave Ruffy and Morrissey's guitarist Boz Boorer.
This album includes more acoustic songs than Ant's previous albums. This album repositioned Adam as a more mature pop-rocker, with crafted songs that featured acoustic guitars as prominently as electrics. The album was a moderate hit in the US and UK, as was the single "Wonderful" which became Ant's third US Top 40 hit single. This was the first Adam Ant album to be released in the US before the UK.
Its working title was Slapdash Eden and 25 tracks had been written for the project, of which eleven appeared on the final product.[citation needed] The Japanese release came with a mini poster. Promotional cards were released, each card related to one of the album's tracks including Ant's real meanings behind the lyrics of the track.[citation needed]
