"Wind of Change" was released as the album's third single in January 1991 and became a worldwide hit, just after the failed coup that would eventually lead to the end of the Soviet Union. The song topped the charts in Germany and across Europe and peaked at number four in the United States and at number two in the United Kingdom. It later appeared on the band's 1995 live album "Live Bites", their 2000 album with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, "Moment of Glory", and on their 2001 unplugged album "Acoustica". The band also recorded a Russian-language version of the song, under the title "" ("Veter Peremen") and a Spanish version called "" "(Winds of change)".
