Crimes of Passion is the second album by Pat Benatar, released in 1980. It peaked at No. 2 for five weeks on the Billboard 200 and produced the hits "Hit Me with Your Best Shot" (US No. 9), "You Better Run" (US No. 42), "Treat Me Right" (US No. 18), plus a cover of Kate Bush's international hit, "Wuthering Heights". Crimes of Passion is Benatar's highest selling album to date, certifying 5x platinum (for sales of 5 million units) Hell Is for Children, which was not released as an A-side single, was also a hit on album-rock stations. A live version of this song from her Live from Earth album was released as the B-side of her "Love Is a Battlefield" single three years later. Benatar won her first Grammy Award for 'Crimes of Passion' in the "Best Female Rock Vocal Performance" of 1980. The music video for the song "You Better Run" was the second music video ever aired on MTV in 1981. This album featured Myron Grombacher on drums, replacing Glen Alexander Hamilton.
