Billion Dollar Babiesis the sixth studio album by American rock bandAlice Cooper, released in March 1973 byWarner Bros. Records.[1]The album became the best selling Alice Cooper record at the time of its release, hitting number one on the album charts in the United States and the United Kingdom, and was certified platinum by theRecording Industry Association of America.

The album has been retrospectively praised by such critics asRobert Christgau, Greg Prato ofAllMusic, and Jason Thompson ofPopMatters, butThe Rolling Stone Album Guide(2004) gave the album only two and a half stars.

Songs were recorded in both the state of Connecticut and London, England. Lyrics cover topics and themes such asnecrophilia,dental fear,horror, andsexual harassment. At 40 minutes and 51 seconds, it is the longest studio album the band has ever released; this does not count any of Cooper’s solo albums.
