After signing to RCA Records, Tyler's first single "My! My! Honeycomb" was released in 1976. Her first charting single was "Lost in France", which reached the Top 10 in the UK. Her most successful single with RCA was "It's a Heartache", which became her first hit in America. The song's sales are in excess of 6 million.
Tyler released four albums with RCA, and while they charted in mainland Europe, she would not make it onto the UK Albums Chart until the release of Faster Than the Speed of Night (1983). She received a Guinness World Record for being the first British female to debut at number one on the UK Albums Chart, though Kate Bush had already achieved this in 1980. Faster Than the Speed of Night contains Tyler's biggest hit record "Total Eclipse of the Heart", which peaked at number one in several countries including the UK and U.S.A. Her 1984 single "Holding Out for a Hero" was also a major hit on both sides of the Atlantic, having featured on the soundtrack to Footloose.
In the 1990s, Tyler continued to have commercial success in Europe. She released three albums with Hansa – Bitterblue (1991), which was certified Platinum four times in Norway, Angel Heart (1992) and Silhouette in Red (1993). She then signed with EastWest and released two albums. Free Spirit (1995) became her first UK and U.S.A. release since the 1980s. Her next album All in One Voice (1998) failed to chart worldwide. Her 2003 bilingual duet "Si demain... (Turn Around)" with Kareen Antonn became a number one hit in France.
