Elton John - Victim of Love (LP)

Victim of Love is the 13th studio album by Elton John. It is a disco record, released in 1979 shortly after the peak of the genre's popularity. It was not critically or commercially well-received, and is John's third lowest charting album to date in the US, after 1986's Leather Jackets and 1985's Ice on Fire.

The title track of the album, however, was moderately successful as a single. It reached #31 on the US Billboard Hot 100, #38 in Australia and #46 in Canada. It also peaked at #11 on the Canadian Adult Contemporary chart. In addition, all the tracks on the album reached #55 on the US Billboard Disco Top 100 chart.

Apart from an appearance on the Australian television series Countdown (he was also a comedy regular on the show during the 1980s), John did little marketing for Victim of Love. He did not tour to promote the album.
