Heart is the eighth studio album by American rock band Heart. It was released on July 6, 1985, by Capitol Records. The album continued the band's transition into mainstream rock, a genre that yielded the band its greatest commercial success. Marking the band's Capitol Records debut, it became Heart's only album to top the US Billboard 200 to date, and was eventually certified quintuple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The album also yielded the band's first number-one single, "These Dreams", along with four other singles: "What About Love", "Never", "Nothin' at All", and "If Looks Could Kill", with the first three singles reaching the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. In 1986, the album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.
Heart first found success when its members moved to Canada, in part to avoid the draft, then later in the United States, and ultimately worldwide. Heart rose to fame in the mid-1970s with music influenced by hard rock and heavy metal, as well as folk music. The band's popularity declined in the early 1980s, but they launched a successful comeback in 1985 which continued into the 1990s, releasing numerous hard-rock songs and ballads. Heart disbanded in 1998, then resumed performing in 2002. In the summer of 2019, Heart ended their 2016 acrimonious break-up by launching their "Love Alive" tour.
To date, Heart has sold over 35 million records worldwide, including over 22.5 million in album sales in the U.S. They have had top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2010s. Heart was ranked number 57 on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock". In 2006, Ann Wilson was listed as one of the "Top Heavy Metal Vocalists of All Time" by Hit Parader magazine. In 2013, Heart was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
