Brigade is the tenth studio album by American rock band Heart, released on March 26, 1990, by Capitol Records. The album reached number three on both the US Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart, while peaking at number two in Canada, Finland, and Sweden. The album's lead single, "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You", reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100.^[7] Subsequent singles "I Didn't Want to Need You" and "Stranded" peaked at numbers 23 and 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively; "Secret", the fourth and final single, charted at number 64.^[7] The album was also notable for containing six tracks that charted inside the Top 25 on Billboard's Album Rock Tracks chart: "Wild Child" number 3, "Tall, Dark Handsome Stranger" number 24, All I Wanna Do is Make Love To You" number 2, "I Didn't Want to Need You" number 13, "Stranded" number 25, "The Night" number 25.^[8]^[7]

The album was followed by a successful world tour. Like its 1987 predecessor Bad Animals, Brigade is notable for having fewer writing contributions from lead members Ann and Nancy Wilson, but would be the last of Heart's albums to prominently feature outside writers.
