Landslide (Olivia Newton-John song)

"Landslide" is a song recorded by English-born Australian singer Olivia Newton-John for her twelfth studio album Physical (1981). Written and produced by John Farrar, the song was released in several countries as the third and last single from Physical on April 1982. In the United Kingdom, however, it was released on January 1982 as the second single ("Make a Move on Me" was the third and last single). The single didn't achieve the success of its predecessors from the album, but peaked within the top 20 on the UK Singles Charts.[2] The song also wasn't performed during the 1982 Physical Tour, but had some performances in television programs during the international promotion.
