Wet is the twenty-first studio album by American singer Barbra Streisand, released in 1979. It is a concept album of sorts with all the songs referring to, or expressing different interpretations of, water. Wet is also the first and the last word sung on the album.

The album was a major success for Streisand, propelled by the album's US No. 1 hit single, "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)", a duet with American disco singer Donna Summer which underwent a retitling and change of emphasis in order to fit the water theme. Streisand also scored a top 10 US Adult Contemporary hit with the follow-up single "Kiss Me In The Rain."[citation needed]

There are two covers on the album: the 1940s standard "Come Rain or Come Shine" and the Bobby Darin classic "Splish Splash", which features background vocals by Toto lead singer Bobby Kimball.

Commercial performance

The album peaked at No. 7 on the US, Canadian and Australian charts and has been certified as Platinum by the RIAA.[4] According to the liner notes of Barbra's retrospective box set Just for the Record..., the album also received a record certification in New Zealand.[5]
