Air Supply, 'Miracle on 34th Street'

That was the title track of a disc that sold double-platinum in the United States and also produced the No. 2 hits “All Out of Love” and “Every Woman in the World.”

Its next album, 1981’s “The One That You Love,” topped the U.S. chart and had two No. 1 hits with the title track and “Here I Am,” and the Top 5 hit “Sweet Dreams.”

Air Supply had one more platinum disc in the United States, the 1982 disc “Now and Forever.” The disc also gave Air Supply its last chart-topping hit, “Even The Nights are Better,” as well as a Top 5 hit with “Two Less Lonely People in the World.”

The duo’s 1983 “Greatest Hits” album also was Top 10, sold five times platinum and had another No. 2 hit, “Making Love Out of Nothing at All.”

Air Supply’s last Top 10 hit in the United States, “Just As I Am,” came in 1985 from its self-titled disc, which also sold gold.

Air Supply has since released nine more studio discs, as well as 12 compilation discs and four live albums, none of which charted in the United States. The latest was 2019’s “The Lost in Love Experience."
