Four singles were released from the album (even though Motown requested another one after all four charted in the top forty, Stevie refused) and the 2 biggest both hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The first release was "I Wish" which topped the chart for one week in January 1977.

The second single was "Sir Duke" which reached #1 in May of 1977 and spent 3 weeks atop the chart.

The next 2 singles were not as successful on the Hot 100, "Another Star" reached #32 and "As" made it to #36. Motown requested Stevie release "Isnt She Lovely" as the 5th single but he refused but the song did get plenty of airplay as stations began playing all of the album.
