It’s incredible to think that Addicted to Love – while obviously a surefire smash once it was in the can – was actually the third single to be released from Robert Palmer’s 1986 album Riptide.
Following a disappointing UK number 95 for lead-off single Discipline of Love and the number 85 ‘hit’ of its title track, Palmer had gone from the top of his game to being on his uppers.
