''Solitaire'' is an album by American pop singer Andy Williams that was released in the fall of 1973 by Columbia Records. The album made its first appearance on the ''Billboard'' 200 chart in the issue dated November 17, 1973, and remained on the album chart for 6 weeks, peaking at number 185.〔.〕 It entered the UK album chart the following month, on December 22, and stayed there for 26 weeks, during which time it made it all the way to number three. On January 1, 1974, the newly formed British Phonographic Industry awarded the album with Silver certification for sales of 60,000 units in the UK, and Gold certification from the BPI, for sales of 100,000 units, followed on January 1, 1975.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BPI search results )〕 The first single from the album was the title track, which entered ''Billboard'' magazine's list of the 40 most popular Easy Listening songs of the week in the U.S. in the issue dated October 6, 1973, and stayed on the chart for nine weeks, peaking at number 23.〔.〕 Although the song did not make the magazine's Hot 100, it did make the top five in the UK, where it entered the singles chart two months later, on December 8, and reached number four during an 18-week stay. Williams's rerecording of another song from the album, "Remember", as a duet with his daughter Noelle resulted in another Easy Listening chart entry as of the January 5, 1974, issue that made it to number 30 over the course of seven weeks.〔 A third song, "Getting over You", entered the UK singles chart four months later, on May 18, and lasted there five weeks, eventually getting to number 35.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Andy Williams - Getting Over You )〕 ''Solitaire'' was released on compact disc for the first time as one of two albums on one CD by Collectables Records on February 19, 2002, the other album being Williams's Columbia release from the fall of 1972, ''Alone Again (Naturally)''. Collectables included this CD in a box set entitled ''Classic Album Collection, Vol. 2'', which contains 15 of his studio albums and two compilations and was released on November 29, 2002.
