number 18.Sports was the second biggest selling album on Billboard's 1984 end-of-year sales chart, after Michael Jackson's Thriller. "Heart and Soul" was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Vocal by a Group at the 26th Annual Grammy Awards in 1984, while "The Heart of Rock & Roll" was nominated for Record of the Year at the 27th Annual Grammys in 1985. Sports charted in the top 40 in many countries outside the United States, including Canada, Germany, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom. On July 20, 1987, the Recording Industry Association of America certified the album 7× Platinum for sales exceeding 7 million units. Music videos were created for the singles "Heart and Soul", "I Want a New Drug", "The Heart of Rock & Roll", "If This Is It" and "Walking on a Thin Line". The band later filmed a music video for "Bad Is Bad" on the streets of San Francisco in March 1985, although the song was not released as a single. "I Want a New Drug" became the focus of a lawsuit against artist Ray Parker Jr., who was accused of plagiarizing the song for his 1984 hit, "Ghostbusters". The case was eventually settled out of court for an undisclosed sum, although Parker later countersued Lewis for breach of a confidentiality agreement, after Lewis discussed the lawsuit on VH1's Behind the Music in 2001. Legacy The album is critiqued by the character Patrick Bateman in both the book (1991) and film (2000) versions of American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis. According to Bateman, Sports marks the point in the band's career in which they "really came into their own, commercially and artistically." In 2013, Lewis, along with "Weird Al" Yankovic, parodied this scene in a video for Funny or Die, wherein Lewis mirrors Bateman's character and chats with Yankovic about American Psycho. On May 10, 2013, Huey Lewis and the News embarked upon a Sports 30th Anniversary Tour, in which they performed the album in its entirety, as well as other songs. On May 14, a two-disc 30th Anniversary Edition of Sports was released, featuring the remastered album in addition to archival live versions of every song on the album.
