This week in 1982, the debut, self-titled LP by Christopher Cross re-entered the UK Albums Chart at #55 (January 9)

The album was originally released on December 20, 1979, and was one of the first in popular music to be digitally recorded, utilizing the 3M Digital Recording System.

Cited as one of the most influential soft rock (or yacht rock) albums of the late 1970s and early 1980s, it won five Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist, with Cross becoming the first artist to win the four major categories in the same year — a feat not replicated until Billie Eilish in 2020.

The album features a number of excellent musicians, and the likes of Nicolette Larsen, Michael McDonald, and Eagles Don Henley and J.D. Souther on backing vocals.

It went to #6 in the US and Australia, #14 in the UK and the Netherlands, #16 in New Zealand, and #18 in Japan, and #26 in Canada.
