Juice (Juice Newton album)

Juice is the million selling plus sixth studio album and third solo album by American country rock singer Juice Newton. The album was released in February 1981 by Capitol Records and was her first major success.

Hits
The album features two #1 hits, "Angel of the Morning" and "The Sweetest Thing (I've Ever Known)". It also contains "Queen of Hearts," the biggest single of Juice Newton's career, which peaked at #2 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Adult Contemporary charts ("Endless Love" by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie prevented the song from reaching #1). "Queen of Hearts" was a popular music video during the summer of MTV's debut. Newton would go on to have more hit songs and albums, but this remains the album for which she is best known. In 1984, a fourth track from Juice, titled "Ride 'Em Cowboy", was released in support of Newton's first Greatest Hits album. The single reached #32 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart. Two versions of the album exist. Early releases feature the original pedal steel guitar-heavy country version of "The Sweetest Thing (I've Ever Known)," subsequently replaced by the more pop-friendly remix that was issued as a single. Early editions have Newton's name in blue outlined letters on the front of the jacket. Later editions with this remix have the artists name with the lettering filled in with cream or off white. == Awards ==
