This was the duo's first album together, after Rogers entered the country market earlier with his massive country pop crossover hit "Lucille" in spring of 1977, followed by a string of more big crossover hits. West, though, was struggling to keep afloat as a country singer, and needed help to bring her career back to where she was in the early part of the decade. Together, they recorded and released this album in 1978, and it was certified gold by the RIAA. The album spawned two big country hits; the title track went to number one (see the "Every Time Two Fools Collide" song article), followed up by the number-two hit "Anyone Who Isn't Me Tonight". The album went to number one on the Top Country albums chart for two weeks, and went to number 186 on the Billboard 200. It has sold over one million copies worldwide.

gollark: Hello! As you may know, I am (barely) staff in old esolangs. For transparency purposes I also share some of the staff discussion which goes on there. They recently complained about this; palaiologos apparently wants me to post *full* context for staff discussions instead of my somewhat small screenshots, including retroactively in the case of the rules change discussion since apparently people have been led to believe that the staff weren't mostly in favour of this. Thusly, here you go.
gollark: And also the permissions system, via [REDACTED] beeonic incursions.
gollark: Well, you are in our hearts.
gollark: Baidicoot is a staff however.
gollark: It would have been nice if the original server was okay, but palaiologistry palaiologizes with increasing metapaliologistics.
