Love Story is a compilation album by American pop singer Andy Williams that was released in the UK in July 1971 by the CBS Records division of Columbia and was mainly composed of tracks that had not been included on his studio LPs.
The compilation entered the UK album chart on July 31 of that year and reached number 11 over the course of 11 weeks.[2]
The title track from the album, which was subtitled "Where Do I Begin?", entered the Hot 100 in the US in the issue of Billboard magazine dated February 6, 1971, and stayed on the chart for 13 weeks, eventually peaking at number nine.[3] The song also entered the magazine's list of the 40 most popular Easy Listening songs of the week in that same issue for its first of 15 weeks, later spending four weeks at number one and tying his previous record there, which was set by "Can't Get Used to Losing You" in 1963.[4] Its lifespan on the UK singles chart began on March 20 of that same year and lasted 18 weeks, during which time it reached number four.[2]
