Chart performance edit

The album topped the R&B albums chart. It also reached number nine on the Billboard 200, the band's highest position on the chart. The album spawned two Billboard R&B Top Ten singles, "Do Your Dance (Part 1)" and "Ooh Boy", which reached number four and number three respectively. A third single, "Wishing on a Star", was not as successful in the US, but was a huge hit on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number three. Another single, "It Makes You Feel Like Dancin'", was released in the UK and peaked at number 16.
