My Own Best Enemy is the seventh studio album by soft rock singer-songwriter Richard Marx. The album hit No. 126 on the Billboard album chart in 2004.[1] The album produced two singles, "When You're Gone" and "Ready to Fly." Both of them reached the 'Hot Adult Top 40' chart. "Ready To Fly" also hit No. 22 on the adult contemporary chart.[2]
The album marked a return to the microphone for Marx, who had spent the early-2000s as a successful songwriter and producer, after the comparatively weak commercial reception of his last album in 2000.[2]
As of January 2018[update], the album had sold a total of 56,958 copies in America per Nielsen SoundScan.
