Two of a Kind: Music from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack album of the film of the same name, released in 1983 by MCA Records and featuring four songs by the film's star Olivia Newton-John, including a duet with her co-star, John Travolta, and the top five hit "Twist of Fate". Songs from other artists on the album also charted. In the US it was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.


Background
In 1978 John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John starred in Grease, a big-screen adaptation of the 1972 Broadway musical of the same name. Its success elicited offers to reunite them in another film; Travolta read the screenplay for Two of a Kind and persuaded Newton-John to star in it with him. The film was profitable despite the criticism it received.


Commercial performance
In the United States, the album debuted on Billboard magazine's Top LPs & Tape chart in the issue dated 3 December 1983 and spent 20 weeks there, during which time it peaked at number 26.It also reached number 6 on their US Rock Albums chart, number 29 in Japan, number 30 in Canada and number 33 in Australia. On 16 January 1984 it received Platinum certification by the RIAA.

Newton-John's "Twist of Fate" was the first release from the album. In the US and Canada, it was the A-side of the 7-inch single and distributed to Top 40 radio stations; "Take a Chance", her duet with Travolta, was the B-side and was distributed to adult contemporary stations."Twist of Fate" peaked at number 5 on both the Billboard Hot 100 in the US[9] and the RPM list of the top 50 pop singles in Canada.

Four other songs from the soundtrack also charted. "Ask the Lonely" by Journey was originally intended for their 1983 album Frontiers but was pulled because of time constraints.
