Ten on One (The Singles) is the first greatest hits album by German singer Sandra, released on 15 October 1987 by Virgin Records. It was a commercial success and spawned one of Sandra's most successful singles, the cover of "Everlasting Love", originally recorded by Robert Knight.

Overview

The compilation consists of three songs from Sandra's debut studio album The Long Play (1985), five from her second studio album Mirrors (1986), and two new recordings: a cover version of "Everlasting Love" and "Stop for a Minute". Despite the title, the album includes the non-single track "Don't Cry (The Breakup of the World)" from Mirrors. The album was produced by Michael Cretu and Armand Volker. The album's booklet included short reminiscences for every track. A video version of the album was released on VHS, including nine music videos and behind-the-scenes material.

"Everlasting Love" was released as the lead single from the album and became one of Sandra's most successful singles, reaching the top five in Germany, Greece and Switzerland. "Stop for a Minute" followed as the second and final single in early 1988, and reached the top 10 in Germany, as well as the top 20 in Switzerland and Denmark. The album itself reached the top 20 in Germany and Switzerland.
