Repeat Offender is the second studio album by singer/songwriter Richard Marx. Released in mid-1989, it replaced Prince's Batman soundtrack at #1 on Billboard's album chart. The album went on to sell over four million copies in the United States alone (several times that worldwide) due to three singles in the Billboard Top Five including two #1 hits: "Satisfied" and the Platinum-selling "Right Here Waiting".

After touring for 14 months on his first album, Marx returned to the studio with a number of songs that had been written while on the road. The album was recorded with well-known L.A.-area studio musicians and would go on to become even more successful than his debut record.
All songs written and composed by Richard Marx, unless otherwise noted.
