"Stop!" is the title song of Sam Brown's 1988 debut album, and the English singer-songwriter wrote it with Gregg Sutton and Bruce Brody, then co-produced it with Pete Brown. A&M first put it out in May 1988, and it stalled at 52 in the UK.
Second time was the charm. Reissued on 23 January 1989, it climbed all the way to number four and hung around the chart for 12 weeks, the highest any of her singles ever reached there. Elsewhere it went further still: number one in Norway, Belgium, Iceland and the Netherlands, and top five in France, Austria and Switzerland, among others. In 1992 it turned up again on the soundtrack of the film Bitter Moon.
