Toto IV is the fourth studio album by American band Toto
released in 1982.
The album received six Grammy Awards including Record of the
Year for "Rosanna", Album of the Year and Producer of the Year for
the band. It reached number four on the Billboard Pop Albums chart shortly
after its release in 1982. The single "Rosanna" reached number two on
the Billboard Hot 100, while the album's third single, "Africa",
became the group's only Hot 100 #1 hit. Both songs were smash hits in the UK as well,
reaching no. 12 and no. 3 respectively. "I Won't Hold You Back" came next
and reached the top 10 in the USA and the top 40 in the UK. With
the success of "Africa", the album climbed back into the top 10 in
early 1983.
The album featured a stronger dose of the pop/hard
rock/R&B-fusion that had characterized their self-titled first album than
had been heard on their previous two albums.
