Chicago 16 is the thirteenth studio album by the American rock band Chicago, released on June 7, 1982. It is considered their "comeback" album because it was their first album to go platinum since 1978's Hot Streets.[2] It made it into the Billboard 200 top ten,[3] and produced their second number one single in the United States, "Hard to Say I'm Sorry".[4]: 202 The album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in August, 1982, two months after its release, and platinum in December, 1982.[5] "Hard to Say I'm Sorry" was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.[6]
Chicago 16 was the first album in a decade-long association with their new label Warner Bros. Records;[7] the band's first project to be produced by David Foster, who has been called the "key" to their comeback;[7] their first album to include some songs exclusively by composers outside of the group;[8] and is also the first album since Chicago VII (1974) not to feature Laudir de Oliveira as a band member.[4]: 132, 200 It is also the first studio album to be released two years after the previous, as previous studio albums were released annually.
