Olivia Newton John Making A Good Thing Better

"Making a Good Thing Better" is an album by Olivia Newton-John, released in 1977. The album peaked at #34 on the US Pop chart and #13 on the Country chart. It was Newton-John's first album not to reach the Country Top 10. The album also ended Olivia's streak of six consecutive Gold albums from 1974's "Let Me Be There" through 1976's "Don't Stop Believin'". In the Netherlands, it became her fourth chart-topping album. The soul-sounding title track was the album single (with "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" and "Sad Songs") only reached #87 on the Pop chart and #20 on the Adult Contemporary chart. It was Newton-John's first single not to reach the AC Top 10 since 1972's "What Is Life".

Olivia Newton-John skillfully made the transition from popular country-pop singer to popular mainstream soft rock singer, becoming one of the most successful vocalists of the '70s in the process. The transition itself wasn't much of a stretch – her early-'70s hits "I Honestly Love You" and "Have You Never Been Mellow" were country only in the loosest sense – yet the extent of her success in both fields was remarkable. As a country singer, her first five charting singles all went Top Ten in the U.S.; as a pop singer, she had no less than 15 Top Ten hits, including five number one singles, highlighted by "Physical," which spent ten weeks at number one in 1981 and 1982.
