Don't Stop Believin' is the ninth studio album by British-Australian singer Olivia Newton-John, released on 30 October 1976. The album received a Gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)[2] and reached number 33 on the US Billboard 200 and number seven on the US Top Country Albums chart. It also became Newton-John's third chart-topping album in the Netherlands.
The first single released from the album was the title track, which peaked at number 33 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the US Adult Contemporary chart. "Every Face Tells a Story" ended Newton-John's streak of seven consecutive number-one Adult Contemporary hits. "Every Face Tells a Story" also ended her streak of nine consecutive Top 40 hits. "Sam" was Newton-John's highest-charting hit on the Billboard Hot 100 since the number 13 peak of "Something Better to Do", and was also her seventh Dutch chart-topping single.
"Don't Stop Believin'", "Compassionate Man" and "Sam" were all released as singles to promote the album in Japan. A live album recorded on the promotional tour for Don't Stop Believin', Love Performance, was released in Japan in 1981, the LP vinyl sold 123,590 and the cassette 10,600 copies there.[3]
