Keep It Turned On is the fifth studio album by English singer Rick Astley, as well as the first after an eight-year hiatus of his career. It was released in Germany on 3 December 2001. The album reached number 56 on the German Albums Chart.{{Cite web |url=http://www.musicline.de/de/chartverfolgung_summary/artist/Astley%2CRick/?type=longplay |title=Musicline.de - Chartverfolgung - Rick Astley |access-date=17 June 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121008205153/http://www.musicline.de/de/chartverfolgung_summary/artist/Astley,Rick/?type=longplay |archive-date=8 October 2012 |url-status=dead }} It was his first studio album since 1993's Body & Soul following a long hiatus from music. Because the album was not released in the UK, "Sleeping" and "Full of You" have appeared on several of his compilation albums, as 'new' tracks.
