Never Surrender is the sixth studio album by Canadian hard rock band Triumph, released in 1982. The album reached #26 on the Billboard Albums chart assisted by the singles “All the Way”, “A World of Fantasy” and “Never Surrender” which hit #2, #3 and #23, respectively, on the Billboard’s Mainstream Top Rock Tracks chart in 1983. “All the Way” (the third of the three tracks to chart) was Triumph’s highest charting song on the Top Rock Tracks chart, but did not sustain that level of popularity with Triumph fans as the song is not included on their 1985 live album Stages, the later Classics (a Greatest Hits album) or 2005’s Livin’ for the Weekend: The Anthology album.
In Canada, the album peaked at No. 29 on the RPM album chart (compared to No. 13 for their previous album, Allied Forces) and none of the singles managed to reach the Top 100 of the RPM Singles chart, although they received some airplay at album-oriented rock stations.
