In addition to these four Top 20 Hit singles, the original CD version of Dream Into Action also contained a bonus track, namely Howard’s hit single from the previous year – ‘Like To Get To Know You Well’ – which reached #4 in the Singles Chart. Dream Into Action also enjoyed massive international acclaim and success; particularly in the USA where it reached #10 in the Billboard Album charts achieving Platinum status. It spawned three Billboard Top 20 hit singles including ‘Things Can Only Get Better’ at #5, ‘Life In One Day’ at #19 and a re-recorded version of ‘No One Is To Blame’ featuring Phil Collins on backing vocals and drums (produced by Hugh Padgham), which gave Howard his biggest ever US hit single reaching #4. As well as achieving great success in the UK (# 1) and USA, Dream Into Action and the various singles taken from it also enjoyed tremendous success internationally in such countries as Canada, New Zealand, Australia and throughout most of Europe.
