The "Donna Summer" album was released July 19, 1982 with the advance single: "Love Is in Control (Finger on the Trigger)" having been issued six weeks previous. "Love Is in Control" would peak at No. 10 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 in September 1982 when the "Donna Summer" album would reach No. 20 in "Billboard"; the album's subsequent single releases: "State of Independence" and "The Woman in Me", which respectively peaked on the Hot 100 at Nos. 41 and 33, failed to increase the album's chart impact.
