Heavy Rotation is the fourth studio album by American singer Anastacia. It was released on October 24, 2008 by Mercury Records. It is her first studio album in over four years, since her eponymous third studio album. According to Anastacia, the album title has a deeper meaning to it, referring to the fact that life rotates and you get through the "heavy" things.[3] In the United States, Heavy Rotation was released on February 17, 2009 in digital format only, including three reworked tracks and the bonus track "Naughty".

The album failed to match the commercial success of its predecessors, struggling in the music charts and regarded as 'chasing sales' by Anastacia's label in an attempt to achieve a successful comeback.[4] The singer herself later stressed her regret in the label's creative direction and stated that she would return to the sound of her previous projects on later albums. The album was ranked at number 10 by Billboard magazine's online "Readers' Poll: 10 Best Albums of 2008".[5]
