1+9+8+2 (official title 1982 in some sources) is the fifteenth studio album by the British rock band Status Quo, released on 16 April 1982. It was the first to include new drummer Pete Kircher, who had recently replaced John Coghlan, and also the first to credit keyboard player Andy Bown as a full member of the band.
The album's release came shortly before the band appeared at a concert at the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, in the presence of the then Prince of Wales (later King Charles III). It reached No. 1 in the album chart, making it their fourth and last No. 1 album, but received an indifferent reception from fans. "Dear John", the first single and the only track not written by any of the band, reached No. 10 in the UK, but "She Don't Fool Me" stalled at No. 36.
