Tony Carey
Following the release of "I Won't Be Home Tonight", Carey was signed to Geffen Records for his third solo album (later to be released as "Some Tough City"), but he had a great deal of music written that didn't fit the style of that album. He was able to sign a second record deal with Geffen to record and release that material under the Planet P Project pseudonym, which he would use throughout his career for his more progressive and experimental music. He released his first album under the name Planet P Project in 1983, called "Planet P Project" (originally titled "Planet P"), which peaked at #42 on the "Billboard" 200. On the week ending March 19, 1983, both "Planet P Project" and Carey's earlier album "I Won't Be Home Tonight" were climbing "Billboard's" Rock Albums chart simultaneously, with "Planet P Project" then at #30 and "I Won't Be Home Tonight" reaching its peak at #8. (The following week "Planet P Project" had made it up to #15, though "I Won't Be Home Tonight" had slipped to the #10 position). "Planet P Project" received modest reviews (e.g., ref and), despite being listed for two weeks by "Billboard" as a Top Add. The album, however, contained the more highly acclaimed song "Why Me", which was released as Planet P Project's first popular single, reaching #64 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and #4 in the magazine's Top Rock Tracks chart. According to Carey, the video for "Why Me" made a "slight impact on early MTV." A follow-up single was released from "Planet P Project, "Static", which reached #24 on Billboard's Top Rock Tracks.
