On this day April 26 1989, Richard Marx released his second studio album Repeat Offender. The album was a massive commercial success, reaching number 1 on the US Billboard 200 and also topping the charts in Australia.

Repeat Offender featured a mix of rock ballads and pop rock tracks that dominated radio and music video channels in 1989. It included the chart topping hit Right Here Waiting, which became one of Marx’s signature songs and a global success.

The album went on to sell over 4 million copies in the United States alone and solidified Marx’s place as one of the leading solo artists of the late 80s.
