It flopped in America but was a hit in the UK after Real failed to produce any hits.

Real charted higher here but yeah singles wise it gave her a couple more top 10s.

 

[BoysForSeles]

They had always gone top 40 with their albums but this gave them renewed vigour and bragging rights.

This was actually a really good album:

He's had a whole new career because he owns what he's done and with good humour. A lot of people love that. Also seems to be a genuinely nice chap, too.

Just had a wee read about this...I hadn't realised how little business his previous couple of solo albums had done.

After her unloved run of 80s albums, this took her back to basics and ushered in a major critical and commercial revival.

From 60s pop princess to homeless junkie, this is probably one of the most striking comeback records of all time.

You’d never really know as Motown had a lot of dodgy accounting tactics and withheld a lot of data to avoid paying appropriate royalties.

 

[VoR]

Through the 90s she was lost in record company politics and her image as a mumsy balladeer. This was a fantastic comeback that set up the incredibly rewarding second act of her career.

I think she was resurrected the previous year with a #1 song in the US and a Record of the Year Grammy win.

True

Yeah, whatever Berry Gordy was known for, honesty and decency were not among them.

Sexy THOMAS says, “Yes, I think they should ban all mention of fucking MORRISSEY as well” IN GERMAN OBVIOUSLY

 

[VoR]

Following the mega-flop of Living Eyes, they spent most of the 80s behind the scenes producing hits for Barbra Streisand, Dionne Warwick, Diana Ross etc. Then they came back with this, which was a huge success for them and spawned the massive European hit You Win Again.

Yes but Chinese Cafe/Unchained Melody from the Wild Things Run Fast album was
A hit with the gays
And by the gays I mean one gay
And by one gay I mean

Me

Cannot believe I've still to listen to this

 

[VoR]

This was absolutely everywhere in 1999.

It’s sooooo good. I’d put it top tier Phair.

Didn't this do worse than janet in just about every country? I thought it was regarded as a relative commercial disappointment until "Together Again" extended its shelf life.

 

[VoR]

Janet was the apex of her career! She could hardly have needed a 'resuscitation' less

 

[rhythmbandit]

I always thought Janet was the flop and Velvet was her big comeback album which paved the way for her for the next decade.

Isn't janet her top selling album (worldwide)? Several top 10 singles in the US, with a couple of number ones, not what I call a flop.
