Don't Stop Believin' is an album by Olivia Newton-John, released in 1976 and her first to be recorded in Nashville. The album was certified Gold by the RIAA[2] and peaked at No. 33 on the US Pop chart and No. 7 on the US Country chart, and became her third chart-topping album in the Netherlands.

"Every Face Tells a Story" ended Olivia's streak of seven consecutive No. 1 AC hits from 1974's "I Honestly Love You" through 1976's "Don't Stop Believin'". 1977's "Sam" was Olivia's highest-charting hit on the Hot 100 since the No. 13 peak of "Something Better to Do" in 1975, and was also her seventh Dutch chart-topping single.

"Don't Stop Believin'", "Compasionate Man" and "Sam" were all released as singles to promote the album in Japan. A live album recorded on the promotional tour for Don't Stop Believin', Love Performance, was released in Japan in 1981, the LP sold 123,590 and the cassete 10,600 copies there.[3]
