America is an American rock group who have released sixteen studio albums, four live albums and seven compilation albums, including a holiday album. They have also issued forty-five singles, including two Billboard Hot 100 number ones, and several number one single on the adult contemporary charts.
America's best-known song is their 1972 debut single, "A Horse with No Name". It was the lead-off single to their self-titled debut album. The song became their first number one on the Billboard Hot 100, and was also a Top 5 hit in the United Kingdom, where it reached number three on the UK Singles Chart. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, America had charted eleven Top 40 singles in the United States. However, in the 1990s, their popularity began to fade. They have not had a Billboard charted single in the United States since 1984, though "Young Moon" charted in Germany in 1994, peaking at number 59 on the country's Media Control Charts. Additionally, in 1998 "From a Moving Train" charted on the Radio and Records AC Airplay Top 40 Chart for six weeks and peaked at number 25 and "Winter Wonderland" peaked on the same chart at number 26 in 2002.
