The album featured hits like “Feels Like the First Time” and “Cold as Ice,” propelling Foreigner into the spotlight. Their follow-up album, Double Vision, solidified their success with chart-toppers like “Hot Blooded.” In 1984, Foreigner reached new heights with their chart-topping ballad “I Want to Know What Love Is.” The song became a global sensation and reached the top of the charts quickly. Agent Provocateur, the album featuring this hit, went on to become one of the band’s most successful records.
Throughout their career, Foreigner delivered numerous hits, including “Say You Will” and “I Don’t Want to Live Without You,” Foreigner is undeniably one of the best-selling bands in history.
