The Seventh One is Toto's seventh studio album. It was released in 1988, and became the best-received Toto album since Toto IV. The Seventh One is the second and last album until Toto XIV (2015) to feature Joseph Williams on lead vocals. He was fired after the Seventh One world tour due to loss of voice attributed to drug abuse. The single "Pamela" reached number 22 in the Billboard charts. The title track, "The Seventh One," is only featured on the Japanese version of the album and on the B-side of the "Pamela" single. It was also released on some compilations on a later date.
Though critically well-received, The Seventh One was the first Toto album since Turn Back to have fewer than two charting hits in the US which led to The Seventh One becoming the lowest charting Toto album on the Billboard Charts up to that point. However, the album sold much better over seas and entered the Top 10 in numerous European countries, earning Gold and Platinum certifications which make the album one of the bands last big ones.
