It reached number three on the Billboard 200 and went triple platinum, the opening statement of one of the decade's most dominant pop careers. This VG+ copy plays cleanly — an essential 80s pop and soul title and a strong pick for the Lionel Richie or Commodores collector.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Off the Record","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49749410349271,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0838\/3535\/5351\/files\/20260902_145241.jpg?v=1788824252","url":"https:\/\/offtherecordstore.com\/products\/lionel-richie-lionel-richie-6007ml","provider":"Off the Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
