America's best-known song is their 1972 debut single, "A Horse with No Name". It was the lead-off single to their self-titled debut album. The song became their first number one on the Billboard Hot 100, and was also a Top 5 hit in the United Kingdom, where it reached number three on the UK Singles Chart. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, America had charted eleven Top 40 singles in the United States. However, in the 1990s, their popularity began to fade.

Additionally, in 1998 "From a Moving Train" charted on the Radio & Records AC Airplay Top 40 chart for six weeks and peaked at number 25, along with being #84 for the year.
