Victim of Love is the thirteenth studio album by English musician Elton John.
It was not critically or commercially well-received, and is John's third lowest charting album to date in the US, after 1986's Leather Jackets and 1985's Ice on Fire.
[4] Apart from an appearance on the Australian television series Countdown (he was also a comedy regular on the show during the 1980s), John did little marketing for Victim of Love.
Elton John admitted in 1998 that he used the album's disco direction as a means of "leaping on a bandwagon".
[5] It was his first album without any of his original Elton John Band members, which would not happen again until his 2010 collaboration with Leon Russell, The Union.
