Linear is the name of the debut studio album by the pop/freestyle group Linear. It was released on March 21, 1990, by Atlantic Records. The album's first single, Sending All My Love, reached #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 making the album itself reach #52 on the Billboard 200. It also won a Gold certificate the same year, for selling more than five hundred thousand copies in the United States. The second single, " Don't You Come Cryin'", did not repeat the success of the previous single - though it achieved some prominence, reaching the 70th spot on the Billboard Hot 100 list. The album's last single, "Something Going On", failed to succeed.
- All songs written by Charlie Pennachio, except track 2 (Pennachio, Charles Christopher) and 4 & 9 (Pennachio, Tolga Katas, Wyatt Pauley).
