The Earth Is ... is the eleventh studio album by British-Australian soft rock duo Air Supply, released in 1991 and their first for Giant Records. It was their comeback album after taking a break in 1987, with Russell Hitchcock releasing his eponymous debut solo album in 1988. The Earth Is ... did not peak on the American charts, but it produced a worldwide tour in which the band focused on Asian countries and Latin America, where they are most popular.[citation needed] The interpretation of "Without You" reached No. 48 on the US Adult Contemporary chart.[2] "Dame Amor" is the first song by the band recorded in Spanish.
