Air Supply achieved widespread success in the 1970s and 1980s. The duo consists of singer-songwriter and guitarist Graham Russell and lead vocalist Russell Hitchcock.
They had a succession of hits worldwide, including eight top-5 hits on the US Billboard Hot 100. One of the hits is their timeless classic song “Lost in Love”, which was released in Australia in 1978 and again soared to the top of the charts. It found its way to Clive Davis, founder and president of Arista Records, who immediately offered Air Supply a record deal.
The song was released in 1980 and became the fastest selling in the world, topping the charts in a multitude of countries. “All Out of Love” was the second single released and topped the worldwide charts once again.
Seven consecutive Top 5 singles at that time equaled The Beatles’ run. The albums Lost in Love, The One That You Love, Now and Forever, and The Greatest Hits sold more than 20 million copies. “Lost in Love” was named song of the year in 1980, and along with the other singles, it sold more than 10 million copies.
Air Supply released their fourth live album, “The Lost in Love Experience,” in 2019 and kicked off the same-titled world tour that captivated audiences around the world.
They were the first western group to tour China, Taiwan, and most of Southeast Asia. Some of these countries have forbidden pop music to cross their borders but this does not restrict the population explosion of Air Supply’s supporters as this iconic duo always have sold out shows all over the world, including their upcoming show in Laguna this December, just like their first time at Laguna in 2018. Both shows promoted by Ovation Productions. Blast TV is the official media partner.
