'''''...But Seriously''''' is the fourth solo studio album by the English drummer and singer-songwriter [[Phil Collins]]. It was released on 20 November 1989 in the United Kingdom by [[Virgin Records]]<ref>{{cite web |title=British album certifications - Phil Collins - ...But Seriously |url=https://www.bpi.co.uk/award/1135-3748-2 |website=[[British Phonographic Industry]] |access-date=29 August 2022}}</ref> and by [[Atlantic Records]] in the United States. After Collins finished touring commitments with the rock band [[Genesis (band)|Genesis]] in 1987, the group entered a four-year hiatus, during which Collins starred in the feature film ''[[Buster (film)|Buster]]'' (1988). By the spring of 1989, Collins had written material for a new solo album, which addressed more serious lyrical themes, like socio-economic and political issues, as opposed to his previous dance-oriented album, ''[[No Jacket Required]]'' (1985).

''...But Seriously'' was a huge commercial success worldwide, reaching No. 1 in the UK and the US for 15 and 4 non-consecutive weeks, respectively. It was the best-selling album of 1990 in the UK, eventually selling 2.75 million copies there and 4 million in the US. The lead single, "[[Another Day in Paradise]]", won a [[Grammy Award]] for [[Grammy Award for Record of the Year#Recipients|Record of the Year]]. Collins supported the album with the [[Seriously, Live! World Tour]] in 1990. In 2016, the album was remastered with additional studio, live, and demo tracks, and updated artwork.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://theseconddisc.com/2016/04/28/hang-long-enough-seriously-revised-going-back-complete-phil-collins-reissue-campaign/ |title=Hang in Long Enough: "...But Seriously," Revised "Going Back" Complete Phil Collins Reissue Campaign|date=28 April 2016|access-date=29 April 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.genesis-news.com/c-Phil-Collins-Take-A-Look-At-Me-Now-the-reissues-campaign-s596.html |title=Phil Collins – Take A Look at Me Now|date=September 2015 |publisher=Genesis News|access-date=29 April 2016}}</ref>
