Triumph was a 1980 album by The Jacksons for CBS/Epic Records.

A Platinum follow-up to the group's 1978 album, Destiny, the group shared lead vocals and special solo spots on all nine songs. Lead singer Michael Jackson handles most of the lead vocals himself. The album's hits included "Lovely One", "Can You Feel It" and "Heartbreak Hotel" (which was renamed "This Place Hotel" to avoid confusion with the Elvis Presley song of the same name). The album was a major success and the tour for this project is considered one of the best of the 1980s.

When it was released, the album became the Jacksons' first album to reach number-one on the R&B Albums chart since Maybe Tomorrow in 1971, and went Platinum a year after its release. The group would not release another studio LP for four years after Triumph's release.
