The fourth studio album released by British-American rock group produced 3 top 40 singles with "Waiting for a Girl Like You" reaching #2 on the Billboard Hot 100.
This single achieved an odd distinction by having the most weeks at #2 without reaching the #1 spot. It was held out of the top spot for 9 weeks by Olivia Newton-John's "Physical" and then one more week by Hall and Oates "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)" in 1981.
