The album was certified gold in the US.[3] and both of the album's singles were country chart hits, with "Something Better to Do" reaching number 19 and "Let It Shine" (written by Nashville songwriter Linda Hargrove) reaching 5. Clearly Love also did well in Japan, reaching number 3 on the Oricon Albums Chart and selling 110,450 copies there.[4]
Singles
The 1940s retro sounding "Something Better to Do" and the country "Let it Shine" (backed with her version of "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother") were the two single releases. This song became popular on country music stations, hitting the top 10 on the Country chart. Both singles were number 1 Adult Contemporary chart hits in the United States, but performed comparatively poorly on the Billboard Hot 100 at numbers 13 and 30 respectively, the beginning of a decline at Newton-John's popularity at Top 40 radio in the US that would not be reversed until her starring role in the movie musical Grease in 1978.

Clearly Love — шестой студийный альбом австралийской певицы Оливии Ньютон-Джон, выпущенный 30 сентября 1975 года на лейбле EMI. Альбом был сертифицирован золотым в США[2]. И оба сингла с альбома стали хитами кантри-чарта: «Something Better to Do» достиг 19-го места, а «Let It Shine» — 5-го. В Соединенном Королевстве же ситуация была совсем иной, так как ни альбом, ни его синглы там вообще не попали в чарты. Альбом также имел успех в Японии, где достиг 3-го места в чарте альбомов Oricon, а продажи превысили 110 450 экземпляров[3].
