Hearts in Motion

Hearts in Motion is the ninth studio album by British-Australian soft rock duo Air Supply, released in 1986. The album was a serious step down in the band's popularity. While their previous self-titled album had charted gold, Hearts in Motion did not attain any certification, peaking at No. 84 on the US charts.

The album did not possess any successful singles, except for the minor hit "Lonely Is the Night" (#76 U.S.), which became a favourite among the band's repertoire, and "One More Chance" (#80).^[1]
