Wall Street is the fourth studio by the Norwegian glam metal band Wig Wam.[1] It was released on 21 May, 2012, with the album's first single "Wall Street" released on 24 February.[2][3] The album was produced by the band's guitarist Trond Holter. Like their previous album, Wall Street was recorded, mastered and mixed at the Rock Ranch Studio in Halden, Norway.

Miscommunication between Wig Wam's Norwegian label and Frontier Records caused the latter to use the "Wall Street" single artwork for the cover of the European album version.[4] The artwork the band intended to use for the cover was used for the Norwegian and Japanese editions.[5] Wall Street was Wig Wam's last album before the members split up in 2014 and reunited in 2019.[6]
