Review

The One That You Love was Air Supply's second international release and perhaps their finest all-around studio outing, spawning three top ten hits, including a number one with the heart-wrenching title track. The sheer drama of "Here I Am" and the swooping orchestration of "Sweet Dreams" complete this smash-hit trilogy, and as suggested by their name, a sense of air and space pervades other pop-tastic ballads such as "This Heart Belongs to Me" and "Keeping the Love Alive." This is definitely the ideal second step for those looking beyond the greatest-hits package. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide

The One That You Love is the sixth album by Australian soft rock band Air Supply, released in 1981. The album became their most famous and successful in their career.

Overview

The album was released after their major success with their previous album, Lost in Love, and multiplied the band's popularity through the first period of the 1980s. Production was carried out by Clive Davis. The single, "The One That You Love", became the band's first and only #1 hit. "Here I Am" reached #5 in the US charts, being a sheer drama closely related to the style of Barry Manilow, one of the band's influences[3]. The third single of the album was "Sweet Dreams". Beside the singles, "I'll Never Get Enough Of You", got to be the main theme of a Japanese tv novel, and a hit in Asia[4]. This was their first entry into any Asian chart.
