'''''Invisible Touch''''' is the thirteenth studio album by the English rock band [[Genesis (band)|Genesis]], released on 6 June 1986 by [[Atlantic Records]] in the United States and on 9 June 1986 by [[Charisma Records|Charisma]]/[[Virgin Records]] in the United Kingdom. After taking a break in 1984 for each member to continue his solo career, the band reconvened in October 1985 to write and record ''Invisible Touch'' with engineer and producer [[Hugh Padgham]]. As with their previous album, it was written entirely through group improvisations and no material developed prior to recording was used.

''Invisible Touch'' was a worldwide success and reached No. 1 on the [[UK Albums Chart]] and No. 3 on the US [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]]. It remains the band's highest selling album after it was certified multi-platinum for over 1.2 million copies sold in the UK and 6 million sold in the US. Genesis became the first band and foreign act to have five singles from one album reach the top five on the US [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]], with "[[Invisible Touch (song)|Invisible Touch]]" being their first and only song to reach No. 1 on the charts. The album received mixed reviews upon its release and retrospectively, with its more pop-oriented approach and perceived similarities to lead singer [[Phil Collins]]' solo work receiving both praise and criticism. In 2007, the album was re-released with new stereo and [[5.1 surround sound]] mixes.
