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.
