Amor Prohibido (English: Forbidden Love) is the fourth studio album by American singer Selena, released on March 22, 1994, by EMI Latin. Having reached a core fan base, the label aimed to broaden her appeal with the next studio release. Finding it challenging to write a follow-up hit after "Como la Flor" (1992), Selena's brother A. B. Quintanilla enlisted the assistance from band members Ricky Vela and Pete Astudillo with writing the album's songs. The resulting album has a more mature sound featuring experimental production that blends diverse musical styles from ranchera to hip-hop music. Amor Prohibido is a Tejano cumbia album modernized with a synthesizer-rich delivery using a minimalist style that was quintessential in early 1990s Tejano music.

Thriller is the sixth studio album by American singer Michael Jackson, released on November 30, 1982 by Epic Records.

The album features a single guest appearance, with Paul McCartney becoming the first artist to be featured on one of Jackson's albums.

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.

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.

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.

Seven and the Ragged Tiger is the third studio album by English new wave band Duran Duran. It was released on 21 November 1983 by EMI. It was the band's first and only number-one album on the UK Albums Chart, and would prove to be the last studio album for the band's most famous line-up until 2004's Astronaut.
Vocalist Simon Le Bon said the album "is an adventure story about a little commando team. 'The Seven' is for us—the five band members and the two managers—and 'the Ragged Tiger' is success. Seven people running after success. It's ambition. That's what it's about."
