Also in 1985, Mr. Mister's ''Welcome to the Real World'' was released, on which De Villiers received a co-producer credit.〔 ''Welcome to the Real World'' topped the ''Billboard'' 200 chart, and spawned the hit singles "Broken Wings" (No. 1 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 for two weeks in 1985), "Kyrie" (No. 1 on the Hot 100 for two weeks in 1986), and "Is It Love" (No. 8 on the Hot 100.) In 1986, the De Villiers-produced Mr. Mister song "Run To Her" was included on the soundtrack to the movie ''American Anthem'', which also featured songs by Stevie Nicks, John Parr, INXS, and Duran Duran guitarist Andy Taylor. The soundtrack reached number 91 on the ''Billboard'' 200 albums chart.
