Mosaic is Wang Chung's fourth album and third on Geffen Records. Released in 1986, Mosaic was commercially successful due to three singles: "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" (reached a high of #2 on the Billboard Hot 100), "Let's Go!" (#9 on the Hot 100) and "Hypnotize Me" (#36 on the Hot 100). Mosaic earned a Gold rating by the RIAA, and hit #41 on the Billboard 200 album charts.

Cover art

The album cover features horizontal photographs of singer/guitarist Jack Hues and bassist Nick Feldman, with a mosaic effect applied to the pictures. The resulting graphic is a literal representation of the album's title. An alternate version shows Jack on the front cover with the track listing of side one, while the reverse is upside down and shows Nick with the track listing of side two.
