Editing Bad English (section)

=== [[Bad English (album)|First album]] ===
The band's first album, ''[[Bad English (album)|Bad English]]'', was a big seller. It contained three top-40 hit singles: the number one hit "[[When I See You Smile]]", the top 10 hit "[[Price of Love (Bad English song)|Price of Love]]", and "Possession".

The album's first single, however, was "Forget Me Not". It stalled outside the top 40 at number 45, but the single peaked at number 2 on the [[Mainstream Rock]] chart. The second single, "When I See You Smile", was their biggest hit, peaking at number 1 on the Hot 100. The song is also notable for being one of only two songs (the other being "Don't Walk Away") to be entirely written by an outside writer without help from at least one member of the band.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Giles |first=Jeff |date=June 26, 2015 |title=How Journey and The Babys Alumni Rose and Fell in Bad English |url=https://ultimateclassicrock.com/bad-english/ |access-date=March 16, 2021 |website=Ultimate Classic Rock |publisher= |language=en}}</ref> "Best of What I Got" was released as a promotional single to [[Mainstream rock|Rock Radio]], where the tune cracked the top 10.<ref name="MR" />
