Kick is the sixth studio album by Australian rock band INXS, released on 19 October 1987 through WEA in Australia, Mercury Records in Europe, and Atlantic Records in the United States and Canada. The album was produced by British producer Chris Thomas, recorded by David Nicholas in Sydney and Paris and mixed by Bob Clearmountain at AIR Studios in London.

The band`s most successful studio album, Kick has been certified six times platinum by the RIAA and peaked at number three on the Billboard 200. The album also spawned four US top 10 singles, `New Sensation`, `Never Tear Us Apart`, `Devil Inside` and `Need You Tonight`, the last of which reached the top of the US Billboard singles charts.[3][4]

Background
Between 1980 and 1984, INXS released four studio albums and had toured their native country Australia extensively. The release of Listen Like Thieves and its second single `What You Need` in 1985 brought the group international acclaim, as well as a breakthrough in the United States.[5] The album peaked at No.11 on the US Billboard 200, and featured the band`s first top 5 single in the US, `What You Need`.[6] After that success, the band knew their next album would have to be better. According to guitarist and saxophonist Kirk Pengilly, `We wanted an album where all the songs were possible singles`.[7] Towards the end of 1986, the band members gathered at the Sydney Opera House in Sydney, Australia to rehearse the songs that Michael Hutchence and Andrew Farriss had written.[8]
