Info for Breakfast In America (Remastered 2026)

Their sixth album, ‘Breakfast In America,’ is their biggest commercial success. Released in March 1979, it has sold over 22 million worldwide, generated 2 billion global streams and spent 88 consecutive weeks in the Billboard 200. It spawned hit singles - ‘The Logical Song,’ ‘Goodbye Stranger,’ and ‘Take The Long Way Home,’ all of which broke into the Billboard Hot 100, with ‘The Logical Song’ becoming their most prolific streamed track (over 900 million to date) spending 17 weeks on the chart. The album's title track also achieved international success, breaking into the UK top 10 and songs like ‘Oh Darling’ have become beloved fan favourites. The album has gone on to receive a whole host of accolades, including two Grammy Awards and an Ivor Novello Award (for ‘The Logical Song’). It was ranked 207th in The Guinness All Time Top 1000 Albums, 69th in Classic Rock Magazine’s Greatest British Rock Album of All Time, 43rd in Triple M’s 100 Greatest Albums of All Time as voted by Australian listeners, and 294th in Colin Larkin’s renowned book ‘All Time 1000 Albums’.

"With Breakfast in America, Supertramp had a genuine blockbuster hit, topping the charts for four weeks in the U.S. and selling millions of copies worldwide; by the 1990s, the album had sold over 18 million units across the world. Although their previous records had some popular success, they never even hinted at the massive sales of Breakfast in America. Then again, Supertramp's earlier records weren't as pop-oriented as Breakfast. The majority of the album consisted of tightly written, catchy, well-constructed pop songs, like the hits "The Logical Song," "Take the Long Way Home," and "Goodbye Stranger." Supertramp still had a tendency to indulge themselves occasionally, but Breakfast in America had very few weak moments. It was clearly their high-water mark." (Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AMG)

Supertramp
Once upon a time in 1969, a young Dutch millionaire by the name of Stanley August Miesegaes gave his acquaintance, vocalist and keyboardist Rick Davies a genuine opportunity to form his own band; he could form the band of his dreams and Miesegaes would pay for it. After placing an ad in Melody Maker, Davies assembled Supertramp.

Supertramp released two long-winded progressive rock albums before Miesegaes withdrew his support. With no money or fan base to speak of, the band was forced to redesign their sound. Coming up with a more pop-oriented form of progressive rock, the band had a hit with their third album, Crime of the Century. Throughout the decade, Supertramp had a number of best-selling albums, culminating in their 1979 masterpiece, Breakfast in America.

Breakfast in America marked their first album that tipped the scale completely in the favor of pop songs; on the strength of the hit singles Goodbye Stranger, Logical Song, and Take the Long Way Home it sold over 18 million copies worldwide. After that album, Supertramp continued to develop a more R&B-flavored style; the change in direction was successful on 1982's Famous Last Words, but they soon ran out of hits. The band continued to sporadically record and tour into the '90s. (Source: Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide)
