We’ve talked about one hit wonders, but what about one album wonders? An album that rockets up the charts and has multiple hit songs and then Never reaches those lofty heights again. Up next Mr. Mister frontman, Richard Page tells how the band did this with Gusto. Welcome to the Real World was a #1 album in 1986 with 2 #1 HITS including Kyrie and Broken Wings plus the top 10 hit Is IT Love! They ruled one year in the 80s, what happened next?

It’s time for another edition of our series Bottled Lightening where we break down the history of a beloved one hit extravaganza that still resonates in our culture.. but this time we are going to tweak it a little and talk about it from the album side. Where an album blew up with multiple hit singles and then never reached those earth shattering heights again. This is very interesting to me. I mean think about an album like Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morrisette or Cracked Rear View Mirror by Hootie and the blowfish… Both albums came out around the same time… They both sold well over 15 million copies and then there next album sold just 2 million each. It’s kind of mind boggling if you think about it. I’m not saying anything derogatory about either of these artists.. I’m just fascinated by it. We’ll tackle that later, but today I want to zero in on an album that was massive with multiple hits in the mid 80s…
One of my favorite records of the time that had 3 top 10 hits including 2 that not only went to #1 but were also great #1 hit songs. Their album also hit #1 in march of 86. Form 1985 to 1986 they were one of the biggest out there and then virtually disappear from the charts just a few years later. Mr. Mister led by one of rock’s nicest and humble guys Richard Page had two #1 hits. Broken Wings and Kyrie… they had a 3rd hit, Is this Love that went to #8 all from their 80s scorcher Welcome to The Real World. A Record that I listened to nonstop for months when I was about 10 years old…
Fascinating stuff. So why Didn’t Mr. Mister’s next album Go On become just as big as Welcome to The Real World. It came out in 1987 not quite less than 18 months after their Welcome went to #1 on the album charts.. and In an interview, Richard Page felt that included some band’s best songwriting… He also added that the band "tried many new and different sounds and ideas”. Well for one, while I bought Go On with my allowance and listened to it many times. It didn’t have the sure fire catchy hit on it.
