Composition and background
Completely devoted to songs that refer to the color blue, this album contained two singles: "Blue on Blue", which reached #3 on the U.S. Pop charts and "Blue Velvet", which went on to #1 for three weeks on the same chart. Both songs served as title tracks during their popularity. The album was released after the success of the song "Blue on Blue", but when "Blue Velvet" became a hit, the album's title was changed with it being the title track. It was only after the title change that the album managed to enter the Billboard 200 list of popular albums; it reached #10.
