Ross' next album, 1989's "Workin' Overtime" was not a commercial success, despite the title track reaching the top three of the "Billboard"s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The album peaked at number 34 on the "Billboard" Hot R&B Albums chart, and achieved top 25 placings in Japan and the UK, attaining a silver certification in the latter country. Subsequent releases, such as "The Force Behind the Power" (1991), "Take Me Higher" (1995), and "Every Day Is a New Day" (1999) produced similar results. Ross's albums achieved more international than domestic success.
