Mosaic is the fourth studio album by the English new wave band Wang Chung, released on 14 October 1986 by Geffen Records. The album was commercially successful, producing three US Top 40 songs: "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" (peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100), "Let's Go!" (No. 9 on the Hot 100), and "Hypnotize Me" (No. 36 on the Hot 100). Mosaic earned a Gold certification by the RIAA and peaked at No. 41 on the Billboard 200 album charts.
Cover art
The album cover features photographs of lead vocalist and guitarist Jack Hues and bassist Nick Feldman, with a mosaic effect applied to the pictures. The resulting graphic is a literal representation of the album's title. The sleeve features Hues on the front cover with the track listing of side one, while the reverse is upside down and shows Feldman with the track listing of side two. On some CD editions, both photographs have been laid horizontally on the front cover, and the full track listing appears on the back cover.
Track listing
All songs produced and arranged by Wang Chung and Peter Wolf; all songs written by Wang Chung, unless noted otherwise.
