Their highest-charting studio album, "The One That You Love" (1981), reached number ten in both Australia and the United States. The band relocated to Los Angeles in the late 1970s, with Hitchcock and Russell remaining the core members throughout various lineup changes. Air Supply were inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Hall of Fame on 1 December 2013. Air Supply formed after Russell and Hitchcock met while performing in the Australian production of the musical "Jesus Christ Superstar" in 1975. Early members included Chrissie Hammond, who later left to form the band Cheetah, and Jeremy Paul on bass and backing vocals. The group's first single, "Love and Other Bruises", was released in 1976 and peaked at number six on the Australian Kent Music Report singles chart. Their debut album, "Air Supply" (1976), reached number 17 on the Australian albums chart and achieved gold certification. The follow-up album, "The Whole Thing's Started" (1977), did not achieve significant chart success. During this period, the group toured nationally in Australia and internationally, including supporting Rod Stewart in 1977. In 1979, Air Supply released the concept album "Life Support", which included "Lost in Love". The song gained international attention after being remixed and released by Arista Records in 1980. Their US breakthrough album, "Lost in Love" (1980), produced three US top-five singles: "Lost in Love", "Every Woman in the World", and "All Out of Love", while also achieving commercial success in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.

During the 1980s, the band released several more albums, including "Air Supply" (1985) and "Hearts in Motion" (1986), featuring singles that charted in the US and internationally.
