Flag is the sixth studio album by Swiss electronic duo Yello, released in 1988.

"The Race" was used as a trailer for Eurosport, and the opening theme to the US quiz show It's Academic.

After several challenging years of going solo after divorcing Ike, Private Dancer propelled Turner into becoming a viable solo star, as well as one of the most marketable crossover singers in the recording industry. It became a worldwide commercial success, earning multi-platinum certifications in Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. To date, it remains her best-selling album in North America. Private Dancer produced seven singles, including "What's Love Got to Do with It", "Better Be Good to Me", "Private Dancer", and "Let's Stay Together". Positively received by critics on release for Turner's ability to give energy and raw emotion to slickly-produced professional pop/rock songs, its long term legacy is that the softening of her raw Southern soul style produced a "landmark" in the "evolution of pop-soul music". The album was promoted throughout 1985 in a 177-date worldwide tour entitled the Private Dancer Tour.

Foreign Affair is the seventh solo studio album by Tina Turner. It was released on September 13, 1989 through Capitol Records.

The album reached number one on the UK Albums Chart, her first number one album there. The album includes the single "The Best" which has gone on to become one of Turner's best-known songs.

Break Every Rule is the sixth solo studio album by Tina Turner. It was released September 23, 1986 through Capitol Records.

"Two People" and "What You Get Is What You See" also became U.S. Top 30 hits. "Back Where You Started" earned Turner her third consecutive Grammy Award for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Female in 1987.

Close to the Bone is the sixth studio album by the British pop group Thompson Twins, released by Arista in March 1987. Now only the duo of Tom Bailey and Alannah Currie remaining, this was the first album the group made without Joe Leeway. It was produced by Bailey and Rupert Hine.
Ending their run of Top 5 albums in the UK, the album was a commercial failure, peaking at number 90 in the UK and failing to yield any hit singles. It fared a little better in the US, peaking at number 76 on the Billboard Top 200, with the single "Get That Love" reaching number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100.

После успеха альбома Cendres de Lune и хитов «Sans contrefaçon» и «Ainsi soit je…» у Фармер не возникло проблем с выпуском второго альбома, который был хорошо принят публикой, что позволило ей укрепить растущую популярность, таким образом предотвращая её от провала и ухода со сцены. Альбом продумывали в течение пяти — шести месяцев. Он был записан в студии Mega, на проспекте маршала Монури, в Париже (XVI округ Парижа) под руководством Тьерри Рогена, известного звукорежиссёра, который уже работал с Фармер и сотрудничал с Мишелем Сарду.
На обложке Фармер изображена в три четверти, где она представлена вместе с куклой, использованной в видео на песню «Sans contrefaçon». Фотографии буклета были сделаны Эльзой Триллиат.
Альбом был выпущен в апреле 1988 года и был встречен с большим успехом, как со стороны критики так и по продажам.

Forever Changes is the third studio album by the American rock band Love, released by Elektra Records in November 1967. It was the final album recorded by the original band lineup; after its completion, Bryan Maclean left the group acrimoniously and the other members were dismissed by leader Arthur Lee. The album saw the group embrace a subtler, folk-oriented sound and orchestration, while primary songwriter Lee explored darker themes alluding to mortality and his creeping disillusionment with the 1960s counterculture.

Select is the second studio album by Kim Wilde, released on 10 May 1982 via RAK label.
The first single from this album, "Cambodia", was released in November 1981 and signalled a different sound from the Wilde camp, with an electronic and synth sound different from the rock sound of her last album. The songs were again written by Marty and Ricky Wilde and produced by Ricky Wilde. The lyrics of the songs were similar to the first album: the second single "View from a Bridge" and the album track "Wendy Sadd" seemed to be about suicide, "Chaos at the Airport" described a nightmare about flying and "Ego" was quite the opposite of a love song. "Can You Come Over" was recorded at the Wilde's home. The cover image was a photograph from Gered Mankowitz.

Here Come the Aliens è il quattordicesimo album in studio di Kim Wilde, pubblicato nel marzo 2018 a cinque anni di distanza dal precedente Wilde Winter Songbook. In Gran Bretagna è stato il primo album negli ultimi venticinque anni ad entrare in classifica, raggiungendo la ventunesima posizione. Un'edizione deluxe del disco viene pubblicata ad ottobre 2018.

The album also features an appearance by Joe Cocker's former bandmate Jim Keltner (on "Long Drag Off a Cigarette").
