Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Frankie Goes to Hollywood were an English synth-pop band formed in Liverpool in 1980. The group's best-known line-up comprised Holly Johnson (vocals), Paul Rutherford (backing vocals), Peter Gill (drums, percussion), Mark O'Toole (bass guitar) and Brian Nash (guitar). The group's 1983 debut single "Relax" was banned by the BBC in 1984 while at number six in the charts and subsequently topped the UK Singles Chart for five consecutive weeks, going on to enjoy prolonged chart success throughout that year and ultimately becoming the seventh-best-selling UK single of all time. It also won the 1985 Brit Award for Best British Single. Their debut album, ''Welcome to the Pleasuredome'', reached number one in the UK in 1984 with advanced sales of more than one million. After the follow-up success of "Two Tribes" and "The Power of Love (Frankie Goes to Hollywood song), The Power of Love", the group became only the second act in the history of the UK charts to reach number one with ...

2009 Greatest Hits Albums
9 (nine) is the natural number following and preceding . Evolution of the Arabic digit In the beginning, various Indians wrote a digit 9 similar in shape to the modern closing question mark without the bottom dot. The Kshatrapa, Andhra and Gupta started curving the bottom vertical line coming up with a -look-alike. The Nagari continued the bottom stroke to make a circle and enclose the 3-look-alike, in much the same way that the sign @ encircles a lowercase ''a''. As time went on, the enclosing circle became bigger and its line continued beyond the circle downwards, as the 3-look-alike became smaller. Soon, all that was left of the 3-look-alike was a squiggle. The Arabs simply connected that squiggle to the downward stroke at the middle and subsequent European change was purely cosmetic. While the shape of the glyph for the digit 9 has an ascender in most modern typefaces, in typefaces with text figures the character usually has a descender, as, for example, in . The mod ...

Watching The Wildlife
"Watching the Wildlife" is the seventh and last single by Great Britain, British pop music, pop musical band, band Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Released on 23 February 1987, it is taken from the album ''Liverpool (album), Liverpool''. Of the three singles culled from ''Liverpool'', "Watching the Wildlife" is the most radio-friendly, lacking the rocky sound of "Rage Hard" and "Warriors of the Wasteland". However, the single only reached number 28 on the UK Singles Chart and #23 in Germany. It is also the only one of the three ''Liverpool'' singles not to have a CD single release at that time and the mix used on the 7" vinyl single has never appeared on a UK issued compact disc. A German 4-track CD single was bundled with the Bang!/Hard On CD/DVD set which contains the mix in question. The 1988 ''Record Collector'' magazine discography of the band contains a listing for a UK CD single, complete with catalogue number, but this was an error based on assumption. To date, no original 198 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rage Hard
"Rage Hard" is the fifth single by Frankie Goes to Hollywood. It was released on 25 August 1986. Background Having topped the charts around the world with ''Welcome to the Pleasuredome'' and its accompanying singles, Frankie Goes to Hollywood took off to Amsterdam to record the follow-up album, ''Liverpool''. Taking on a rockier edge, "Rage Hard" was the first single culled from the disc. Of note, "Rage Hard" was a testament to the changing musical landscape in Britain at the time. It was not only the first Frankie single to be featured on CD single, it was also the first single to not feature a cassette release - new rules limited the number of items that could count towards the official charts, following the earlier ZTT excesses. "Rage Hard" eventually hit Number 4 in the UK singles charts and Number 1 in Germany (for two weeks), #5 in Switzerland, #7 in the Netherlands, #12 in Austria, #19 in Sweden and #32 in France. B-sides The B-sides to "Rage Hard" were, for the most ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Warriors Of The Wasteland
"Warriors of the Wasteland" is the sixth single from Frankie Goes to Hollywood, released on 10 November 1986. It was taken from the album ''Liverpool (album), Liverpool''. Having already referenced literary heavyweights such as Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Coleridge in "Welcome to the Pleasuredome (song), Welcome to the Pleasuredome" and Dylan Thomas, Thomas in "Rage Hard", for "Warriors of the Wasteland" Holly Johnson turned to T. S. Eliot for inspiration. Johnson cited Eliot's ''The Waste Land'' poem, the 1981 Mel Gibson film, ''Mad Max 2'', and the 1979 film, ''The Warriors (film), The Warriors'' as inspirations. Even though it featured 3 different 12" singles, "Warriors of the Wasteland" reached number 19 in the UK Singles Chart (making it the group's first UK hit not to go Top Five), #7 in Germany (for two weeks) and #13 in Switzerland. Critical reception On its release, James Brown of ''Sounds (magazine), Sounds'' described "Warriors of the Wasteland" as a "predictable piece ...
