Prior to the release of "Low Budget", "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman" was released as a single in early 1979, backed with "Low Budget". Although the single failed to make an impact in Britain, it became a modest hit in America, reaching #41. "Low Budget" was then released on 10 July 1979 in America and on 7 September 1979 in Britain. The album proved to be a major success in the United States, reaching #11 on the Billboard 200 (the band's highest charting studio album to date). Despite the great commercial success the album achieved in America, the album, like every Kinks album since 1967's "Something Else by The Kinks", was unable to chart in their native Britain. Follow-up singles to "Superman" were issued ("A Gallon of Gas" and "Catch Me Now I'm Falling" in the US, "Moving Pictures" and "Pressure" in Britain) but they failed to chart.
