She was inducted into the <a href="/wiki/Rock_and_Roll_Hall_of_Fame" title="Rock and Roll Hall of Fame">Rock and Roll Hall of Fame</a> in November 2022. </p><p>Benatar's 1979 debut album, <i><a href="/wiki/In_the_Heat_of_the_Night_(Pat_Benatar_album)" title="In the Heat of the Night (Pat Benatar album)">In the Heat of the Night</a></i>, was her breakthrough in North America, especially in Canada where it reached No. 3 on the album chart. Two hit singles from the album were released: "<a href="/wiki/Heartbreaker_(Pat_Benatar_song)" title="Heartbreaker (Pat Benatar song)">Heartbreaker</a>" and "We Live for Love", the latter written by her lead guitarist and future husband, <a href="/wiki/Neil_Giraldo" title="Neil Giraldo">Neil Giraldo</a>. Her second album, 1980's <i><a href="/wiki/Crimes_of_Passion_(Pat_Benatar_album)" title="Crimes of Passion (Pat Benatar album)">Crimes of Passion</a></i>, was her most successful work, peaking at No. 2 in North America and France, being certified 4× and 5× platinum in the US and Canada, respectively. The single "<a href="/wiki/Hit_Me_with_Your_Best_Shot" title="Hit Me with Your Best Shot">Hit Me with Your Best Shot</a>" reached the top 10 in the US and Canada and is considered to be her signature song. Her third album, <i><a href="/wiki/Precious_Time_(album)" title="Precious Time (album)">Precious Time</a></i> (1981), was another success, topping the US Album Chart and becoming her first top 10 album in Australia. Its single "<a href="/wiki/Fire_and_Ice_(Pat_Benatar_song)" title="Fire and Ice (Pat Benatar song)">Fire and Ice</a>" charted highly in the US and Canada. Her next release, <i><a href="/wiki/Get_Nervous" title="Get Nervous">Get Nervous</a></i> (1982), sold less well than her previous two albums, but did include the North American hit "<a href="/wiki/Shadows_of_the_Night" title="Shadows of the Night">Shadows of the Night</a>". </p><p>In 1983, Benatar's sound began to move towards more atmospheric pop. The single "<a href="/wiki/Love_Is_a_Battlefield" title="Love Is a Battlefield">Love Is a Battlefield</a>" (1983) was her biggest hit in most countries, reaching No. 1 in the Netherlands, Australia and on the US Rock Tracks chart, and No. 5 on the US Hot 100. The live album it came from, <i><a href="/wiki/Live_from_Earth" title="Live from Earth">Live from Earth</a></i>, was her biggest seller in Australia, Germany and the Netherlands. In 1984, she released <i><a href="/wiki/Tropico_(Pat_Benatar_album)" title="Tropico (Pat Benatar album)">Tropico</a></i> and its lead single "<a href="/wiki/We_Belong" title="We Belong">We Belong</a>", which reached the top 10 in several countries, including No. 5 on the US Hot 100. </p><p>Benatar's 1985 album, <i><a href="/wiki/Seven_the_Hard_Way" title="Seven the Hard Way">Seven the Hard Way</a></i>, sold less well, but it yielded two singles harking back to the rock vein: "<a href="/wiki/Invincible_(Pat_Benatar_song)" title="Invincible (Pat Benatar song)">Invincible</a>", a top 10 hit in North America, and "<a href="/wiki/Sex_as_a_Weapon" class="mw-redirect" title="Sex as a Weapon">Sex as a Weapon</a>". Her follow-up, <i><a href="/wiki/Wide_Awake_in_Dreamland" title="Wide Awake in Dreamland">Wide Awake in Dreamland</a></i> (1988), marked a resurgence in sales in Canada and Australia, and was her biggest hit in the UK. Its rocker, "<a href="/wiki/All_Fired_Up_(Pat_Benatar_song)" class="mw-redirect" title="All Fired Up (Pat Benatar song)">All Fired Up</a>", was a significant hit in Canada, Australia and the US.
