The Beatles
They are probably known by everyone in the entire world. They earned more number one albums (15) than any other group in UK chart history.

Eurythmics
This duo consists of Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart and was formed in 1980. With hits like "Missionary Man" and "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)," the Eurythmics is one of the best bands ever, not just out of those from the UK.

Depeche Mode
They are touted as one of the most successful, longest-lived bands that emerged from the early 80s. That is a feat when considering all the one-hit wonders that came out in the 80s.

That is correct. Just read that she has sadly passed away. She also had a hit with 'Holding Out For A Hero' that was used in an advert for a perfume in the early 1990s, just before the festive period.

They have made history. In less then one year they have become number 1 in both USA and Canada, beating the Beatles and Spice Girls. They sold out MSG and their whole North American tour within minutes!
