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.
