Air Supply is an Australian soft rock duo formed in Melbourne in 1975 by Russell Hitchcock (vocals) and Graham Russell (guitar, keyboards, songwriting). They achieved international success in the late 1970s and early 1980s with a string of romantic ballads that became staples of adult contemporary radio. After signing with Arista Records, they released a series of hit singles, including Lost in Love, All Out of Love, The One That You Love, and Making Love Out of Nothing at All. The band became one of the best-known Australian acts in the United States, with continued chart presence into the mid-1980s. Their music is characterized by melodic hooks, polished production, and earnest vocal performances.

Air Supply has sold tens of millions of records worldwide, with estimates commonly placing totals in excess of 40 million and multiple platinum certifications in several countries. They have maintained a lasting presence through touring and releases of compilation albums, live recordings, and occasional studio projects, keeping their romantic ballad repertoire in circulation for new generations. The duo’s collaborations with arrangers and session musicians, as well as their enduring popularity on radio and nostalgia circuits, reflect Air Supply’s enduring appeal as a defining act of 1980s soft rock.
