Page "REO Speedwagon" Paragraph 9

The stage was now set for the band's most popular era.

In the fall of 1980, REO Speedwagon released Hi Infidelity, which represented a change in the music from hard rock to more pop-oriented material.

Hi Infidelity spawned four hit singles written by Richrath and Cronin, including the # 1 " Keep On Loving You " ( Cronin ), the # 5 " Take It on the Run " ( Richrath ), " In Your Letter " (# 20 ) ( Richrath ), and " Don't Let Him Go " (# 24 ) ( Cronin ), and remained on the charts for 65 weeks, 32 of which were spent in the top ten, including 15 weeks atop the Billboard 200.

Hi Infidelity sold over 10 million copies and set the bar for rock bands across the country.
