Wilde released her debut single “Kids in America” in January 1981. An instant success, it reached number two in the UK Singles Chart and scaled the Top 5 in other countries such as Germany, France and Australia. Although it achieved only moderate success in the US, peaking at number 25 when released in 1982, it is often regarded today as Wilde’s signature song. Her debut album Kim Wilde repeated the success of the single, spawning two further hits in “Chequered Love” (Top 5 in the UK, France, Australia and Germany) and the UK-only single “Water on Glass”.

Wilde’s follow-up album was 1982’s Select, led by the hit singles “Cambodia” and “View from a Bridge”. Both were number 1 hits in France and reached Top 10 positions in Germany and Australia. At the time, there was some controversy about Wilde’s hesitation to do live concerts. Her first concerts in September 1982 took place in Denmark, before embarking on a UK-wide tour in October. Wilde’s third album, Catch as Catch Can (1983) was a relative failure. The first single from the album, “Love Blonde”, was another success in France and Scandinavia, but failed to have major success in other countries. The failure of the album led to her leaving RAK and signing with MCA Records in the summer of 1984.

Wilde’s first MCA album Teases & Dares was again overlooked in her home country, but fared better in Germany, France and Scandinavia as well as scoring another German Top 10 single with “The Second Time” (which was Top 30 in the UK). The video for this song appeared in an episode of the 1980s TV hit Knight Rider in 1985. The second single, “The Touch”, was not a commercial success, but the third single, the rockabilly “Rage to Love”, made the UK top 20 in 1985. All of Wilde’s songs up to this point, including all her major hits, had been written by her father Marty and brother, Ricky. On Teases & Dares she penned two songs. Meanwhile, Wilde had embarked on three European concert tours (1983, 1985 and 1986).

On her fifth album, 1986’s Another Step, Wilde wrote or co-wrote most of the songs. The album’s lead single “Schoolgirl” flopped in Europe and Australia, but Wilde’s fortunes improved in spectacular fashion with the album’s second single, a Hi-NRG remake of The Supremes classic “You Keep Me Hangin’ On”. After topping the charts in Australia and Canada and peaking at number two in the UK, it became a US number one single in 1987. With that hit, she became the fifth UK female solo artist ever to top the US Hot 100, following Petula Clark, Lulu, Sheena Easton, and Bonnie Tyler. Her popularity, especially in her native UK, was revitalised and she scored further Top 10 hits in 1987 with “Another Step (Closer to You)” (recorded with Junior) and “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” (a Comic Relief charity single, recorded with comedian Mel Smith).
