"Heavy Rotation" is the fourth studio album from the American singer-songwriter Anastacia."Heavy Rotation" is her first studio album in over four years, since her self-titled 3rd studio album "Anastacia" released in 2004. According to Anastacia, the album also has a deeper meaning to it, referring to the fact that life rotates and you get through the "heavy" things. [http://www.rpr1.de/de/content/view/96/256/]

She has stated the following about the title: cquote|I called the album "Heavy Rotation" because it's a phrase that originated with DJs, and also for me the meaning is, life can be heavy, but it all turns around and goes into something else. It seemed to be the perfect title for where I'm at in my life." [http://www.mtvasia.com/News/200808/21016468.html Anastacia Is Back With Fourth Studio Album 'Heavy Rotation'] .
