Foreigner – Head Games

Foreigner’s platinum-selling winning streak continued on Head Games, the band’s third album. Tailor-made for the airwaves, songs such as “Dirty White Boy” and “Head Games” kept Foreigner at the top of the arena rock heap as the decade came to a close; and the supergroup’s successes would continue well into the ’80s.

In August 1979, the release of the album was preceded by its first single, the hard rock “Dirty White Boy, which peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The album itself continued Foreigner’s popularity, climbing to No. 5 on the Billboard 200 chart and receiving a platinum certification four months after it hit the stores. By now, Head Games has gained a 5× Platinum status for selling at least 5 million copies in the United States. The next singles were the title track and “Women,” which reached No. 14 and 41, respectively.

Head Games continued in the vein of Foreigner’s previous successful albums, maintaining a consistent quality of music that fans had come to expect.

We expect this definitive deluxe 180-gram 45 RPM 2LP Analogue Productions (Atlantic Series) reissue of Head Games to find a prominent place in your most-listened-to album rotation.
