Between 1982 and 2009, they had 28 singles reach the Top 50 of the UK Singles Chart and memorable Top 10s hits such as "Nathan Jones", "Robert De Niro's Waiting...", "Cruel Summer", "Really Saying Something", "I Heard A Rumour", "I Can't Help It", "Venus", and "Love in the First Degree". 2019 saw the launch of a new album “In Stereo” that went Top 30 in the UK.
