Heartbeat City
is the fifth
studio album
by American
new wave band
released on
March 12, 1984,
by Elektra Records.
This marks the band's
first album
not produced by
long-time producer
Roy Thomas Baker,
instead opting to
produce with
Mutt Lange.
The album was a
major commercial success,
certifying
quadruple platinum
in the U.S.
Music journalist and essayist
Robert Christgau
noted that
"the glossy approach
the Cars invented has
made this the best year
for pure pop
and it's only fair
that they should return
so confidently to form."
Numerous tracks
from the album
received airplay
on modern rock
and AOR stations,
with the singles
"Drive"
and
"You Might Think"
reaching the top 10
of the
Billboard Hot 100,
while the album
peaked at
number three
on the
Billboard 200.
