"Billy Idol" is the full-length solo debut by Billy Idol (following his solo EP "Don't Stop" in 1981). Preceded in June 1982 by the hit-single "Hot in the City", the album was released in July 1982. After the next single from the album, "White Wedding", entered the Top 40 a year later, "Billy Idol" was reissued with the addition of the earlier single "Dancing with Myself". "Hot in the City" was a bigger hit when re-released in the UK in 1988, peaking at #13 on the UK singles chart.

The LP peaked at number 45 on the Billboard 200 and was certified Gold in 1983.
