Results is the 1989 Liza Minnelli album produced by the Pet Shop Boys and Julian Mendelsohn. The album was a huge success in the UK, where it reached #6 on the UK Albums Chart (promoted by the lead single "Losing My Mind," which reached #6 on the UK Singles Chart). The album was less successful in the US, peaking only at #128 on the Billboard Top 200 albums. According to Minnelli, the album's title came to be when she was at a bar and she complimented a woman on her dress. The woman thanked Minelli and explained that it was her "results" dress. "When I wear this dress, I get results."
