Hearts in Motion

Hearts In Motion is the ninth studio album by Australian soft rock band 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 #84 on the US charts. The album didn't possess any successful singles, except for the minor hit "Lonely Is the Night" (#76 in the U.S.), which became a favourite among the band's repertoire, and "One More Chance" (#80).[2]
