It featured Wonder's biggest hit and international number-one hit, "I Just Called to Say I Love You ", which won theAcademy Award for Best Original Song, and also featured the follow-up hit, "Love Light in Flight" (an US Top 20 hit) and "Don't Drive Drunk". The album reached #4 in the US and #2 in the UK, where it was knocked-off the top spot by the albums "Now That's What I Call Music 3" andDavid Bowie 's "Tonight". After "Songs in the Key of Life " and "Hotter Than July ", Wonder reached #2 in the UK charts failing to achieve a #1 album, a milestone that he never was able to achieve. However, "I Just Called to Say I Love You" was a massive hit in the UK, reaching #1, becoming the 2nd best-selling single of 1984 (only behind Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas? ") and, even more impressively, the 3rd most successful single of the entire 1980's there. (With 1.775 million copies sold only in the UK, the single is actually the 13th most successful ever in Britain.)Track listing
