Edge of the Century is the twelfth studio album by Styx, released in 1990. It was the first Styx album featuring A&M solo artist Glen Burtnik, the only album to feature the Dennis DeYoung/James Young/Glen Burtnik/Chuck Panozzo/John Panozzo lineup, and the last album to feature John Panozzo on drums before his death in 1996.

The album spawned three singles. `Show Me the Way` was written by DeYoung and peaked at #3 on both the Hot 100 Pop Singles Chart and Adult Contemporary Chart. Some radio stations played a version edited with snippets of congressional debate and caller dedications to troops in the Gulf War.[8] `Love Is the Ritual,` (Pop singles peak #80) written by Burtnik and Plinky Giglio, and `Love at First Sight,` (Pop singles chart peak, #25) written by Burtnik, DeYoung and Young, were also released as singles, but neither garnered the same amount of success as `Show Me the Way.`

The album sold more than 500,000 copies and was certified gold by the RIAA.

Edge of the Century would be Styx`s last album of new music for A&M Records and due to poor album sales, A&M did not renew their contract.
