They also charted on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] with "White Hot" from their debut album ''[[Don't Fight It (album)|Don't Fight It]]'' (1979) and "[[Young Thing, Wild Dreams (Rock Me)]]" from ''[[Breaking Curfew]]'' (1984), and charted comparably to "Lunatic Fringe" on Mainstream Rock ([[Album-oriented rock|AOR]]) with "[[Big League (song)|Big League]]", "Human Race", and "Power", the latter two tracks off 1983's ''[[Neruda (album)|Neruda]]''.
