Whitesnake enjoyed much success in the UK, Europe and Japan through their early years. The albums "Ready an' Willing", "Come an' Get It" and "Saints & Sinners" all reached the top ten on the UK Albums Chart. By the mid-1980s, however, Coverdale had set his sights on breaking through in North America, where Whitesnake remained largely unknown. With the backing of American label Geffen Records, Whitesnake released their self-titled album in 1987, which proved to be their biggest success to date, selling over eight million copies in the US and spawning the hit singles "Here I Go Again" and "Is This Love". Whitesnake also adopted a more contemporary look, akin to the Los Angeles glam metal scene. After releasing "Slip of the Tongue" in 1989, Coverdale decided to put Whitesnake on hold to take a break from the music industry. Aside from a few short-lived reunions in the 1990s, the band remained mostly inactive until 2003, when Coverdale put together a new line-up to celebrate Whitesnake's 25th anniversary. Since then Whitesnake have released four more studio albums and toured extensively around the world.
