Although Circle of Love was certified Gold for sales of 500,000 units in December 1981[3] the album, with its lead single "Heart Like a Wheel" only managing to reach #24 in the US (and #17 in Canada), was a commercial disappointment in contrast to the band's three preceding albums which had all reached million-selling Platinum status.[4][5][6]
