Will to Power contains the band's No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, " Baby, I Love Your Way/Freebird Medley", the most successful single released by them today, coming to stay for a week in the first position of the Billboard Hot 100, [3] as well as two songs that reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, (" Say It's Gonna Rain" that was the first single of them coming in the first position on the dance chart and " Fading Away" that reached first on the dance chart and achieved moderate success on the Billboard Hot 100).
