Since their debut in 1986, Book of Love have had their biggest success on the US dance charts, placing seven singles in the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart between 1985 and 1993. In February, 2001 — sixteen years after its first dance chart entry — Book of Love had its first number-one hit on the US dance chart when "Boy", a track originally from its debut album, was remixed and re-released as the lead single from their greatest hits collection, I Touch Roses: The Best of Book of Love. The group's largest exposure on pop radio was with the song "Pretty Boys And Pretty Girls", which became Book of Love's only Hot 100 entry, peaking at number 90 in 1988. The band have had two albums, Lullaby and Candy Carol, enter the Billboard 200, peaking at no. 156 and no. 174 respectively.
