It charted at 9 on the Billboard 200. Uh-Huh contained three Top 20 Billboard Hot 100 hits: Crumblin' Down 9, Pink Houses 8, and Authority Song 15. In 1989, it was ranked No. 32 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 100 Greatest Albums of the 80's. Uh-Huh runs out of steam toward the end, but the first half - with the dynamic rocker Crumblin' Down, his best protest song, Pink Houses, the punky Authority Song, the melancholy Warmer Place to Sleep, and the garage rocker Play Guitar - makes the record his first terrific album.

Although American Fool was certainly a hit in its own right, it was with Uh-Huh that Mellencamp really started asserting his grip on the musical zeitgeist.
