It went on to sell 10 million copies in the US,^[2] being certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America, and 12 million copies worldwide.^[3][4][5] The lead single released from the album was "Doo Wop (That Thing)", which debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.^[6] Other charted singles from the album were "Ex-Factor", "Everything Is Everything" and "To Zion".^[6]

The album included the tracks "I Gotta Find Peace of Mind" and "Mystery of Iniquity".
