"Emotions in Motion" is a rock album by Billy Squier that was released in 1982. It peaked at #5 on the Billboard 200 album chart. It contains the hit song "Everybody Wants You", which peaked at #32 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, and held at #1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for 6 weeks. Further Mainstream Rock hits and Hot 100 chartings from the album included "Learn How To Live" and "Emotions In Motion", and "She's A Runner" received rock radio play as well. Squier again wrote all the album's tracks himself.

A concept album, "Emotions in Motion" is one of Billy Squier's most popular albums as well, certified Gold in September 1982 and Platinum album a month later. Though multi-platinum awards were not certified prior to late 1984, the album received a Double Platinum award in 1991. [ [http://www.riaa.com/ RIAA - Recording Industry Association of America - May 31, 2008 ] ] "Emotions in Motion" is Squier's second best selling album, after the previous year's "Don't Say No".

The cover art was created for Squier by Andy Warhol. Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury and drummer Roger Taylor sing background on the title track [http://www.queenvault.com/freddieplus.html, http://www.queenvault.com/rogerplus.html] , which was a Mainstream Rock hit. Squier began promoting this album opening for Queen, but by the end of his tour he was headlining an arena tour of his own. [ [http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/discography/more.jsp?tp=albums&pid=5740&aid=16116 Billboard.com - Discography (more) - Billy Squier - Emotions in Motion ] ] Like it's predecessor, the album was produced by Squier with Reinhold Mack, who had produced Queen's "The Game".

Squier's recording of "Everybody Wants You" has recently been used in advertising for the USA Network TV Show "Burn Notice".

"Everybody Wants You" was covered by glam/hard rock band Damone in 2006 and this version was used for an advertising campaign for the CW Television Network during its first season (2006-07).
