His second album, Hello, I Must Be Going!, was released in 1982 and included the UK number one "You Can't Hurry Love", which also topped the charts in Ireland and the Netherlands. The album went number one in Canada while peaking at number two in the UK and receiving a triple-platinum certification from the BPI.[2][3] In 1984, Collins recorded "Against All Odds"; the ballad shot to number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number two in the UK.
