"Physical" was an album by Olivia Newton-John, released in 1981. It was certified double platinum, peaking at No. 6 on the Billboard albums chart. This was also Newton-John's first and only album to chart R&B, peaking at No. 32. With country music completely overlooked for this album, this unsurprisingly became Newton-John's first studio album not to chart country since her 1971 debut, ""If Not For You."

The title track was Newton-John's biggest pop single ever spending 10 weeks atop Billboard's Hot 100. "Physical" tied Debby Boone's "You Light Up My Life" as the then longest running No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 by a female artist. (Whitney Houston broke the record when "I Will Always Love You" spent 14 weeks atop the Hot 100. This was later surpassed by Mariah Carey when her "One Sweet Day" collaboration with Boyz II Men was No. 1 for 16 weeks.) "Physical" also peaked at No. 29 AC and No. 28 R&B (her only entry on the R&B singles chart). The album also yielded the singles "Make A Move On Me" (No. 5 - Pop, No. 6 - AC) and "Landslide" (No. 52 - Pop).
