Ten weeks at the top of the UK album chart is probably a good indication that this record managed the odd sale or two. In fact, it went ballistic around the globe and racked up an impressive 30 million sales - and counting. Interestingly, it was also the first album to notch 1 million sales on CD!

Their first album was brilliant then they sold out and were ultimately responsible for two of the worst songs ever recorded,namely "The Walk Of Life" and "Twisting By The Pool".
