Kick (album)

Kick is an album by the Australian rock and roll group INXS, released in 1987. It is their best-selling album to date, selling more than 7 million copies in the US alone. At the peak of its success with this album, the band was on a par with Irish rock band U2 for worldwide popularity. Aided immeasurably by MTV, Kick spawned four Top 10 singles, including "Need You Tonight/Mediate," "Devil Inside," "New Sensation," and "Never Tear Us Apart." At the 1988 MTV Video Music Awards, the band took home five trophies for the "Need You Tonight/Mediate" video.

In 2002, a remastered version of the album was released that included four previously unreleased tracks. In 2004, as part of Universal's Deluxe Edition series, Mercury reissued the album as a 2CD extravaganza, including live material and remixes.
