In previous essays, I discussed the 171 singles and 185 albums charting in Billboard magazine during the Second British Invasion (“SBI”), which I posit ran for 167 weeks: September 26, 1981 to December 22, 1984. These singles and albums were released by 94 unique musical artists, counting Adam and the Ants and Adam Ant as a single artist. Only 58 artists had at least one charting single and at least one charting album – five artists only charted on the Billboard Hot 100 (singles), while 31 only charted on the Billboard Top 200 (albums).
In this penultimate essay, I address the artists of the SBI as well as its history, based upon weekly Billboard charts.
***********
To rank SBI artists, I averaged two percentages: share of total single points and share of total album points; please see earlier essays to learn how I calculated points. In total, there were 113,970 single points from 63 artists and 434,588 album points from 89 artists, so even the top artists in each category had a relatively small percentage of the total.
With that, here are the top 50 artists of the Second British Invasion:

Despite being 2nd in both single and album points, Duran Duran is the top overall artist of the Second British Invasion,…
…edging out The Police (#1 in album points #3 in single points)…
…and Culture Club (#1 in single points, #3 in album points).
Just behind this SBI triumvirate are Men At Work, whose debut, Business as Usual, is the top album by points. Human League (#9) has the top single by points, “Don’t You Want Me.” While Eurythmics topped Billy Idol in single points, Billy Idol surged ahead in album points to snag the #5 spot. Joe Jackson, a relative veteran, is in a virtual tie with newcomers The Fixx for #7. Rounding out the top 10, at #10, is Thompson Twins (#10), who started slowly in 1982 and 1983 then hit stride early in 1984.
Culture Club’s percentage of single points was 3.30 percentage points higher than their percentage of album points. Other artists with a differential of at least 1.0 percentage points in favor of singles are Naked Eyes (1.98), Eurythmics (1.49), Thompson Twins (1.44), Human League (1.17), Spandau Ballet (1.15) and Men At Work (1.00); Eddy Grant just misses this list with a differential of 0.97.
On the flip side, U2 – ranking #6 in total album points and #37 in total single points – have the largest differential in favor of albums, 3.17 percentage points. Other artists with a differential of at least 1.0 percentage points in favor of albums are The English Beat (1.48), Elvis Costello & the Attractions (1.37), Squeeze (1.27) and Billy Idol (1.05). In fact, The English Beat and Squeeze placed no singles on the Billboard Hot 100 during this period, despite significant airplay for the videos for “Save It For Later” and “Black Coffee In Bed,” respectively.
***********
Looking at this list, meanwhile, one discerns a handful of categories. The most notable might be One-Hit Wonder, defined as an artist who reached the top 40 only once during this period yet still rank highly among SBI artists. The exemplar of this group is Soft Cell, whose “Tainted Love” is the #4 overall SBI single – and their only single ever to reach the Billboard Hot 100. “Tainted Love” made Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret the #24 SBI album. Also in this category are Thomas Dolby (“She Blinded Me With Science”), Adam Ant (“Goody Two Shoes”), Big Country (“In a Big Country”), Bananarama (“Cruel Summer”), Dexy’s Midnight Runners (“Come On Eileen”), Wham! (“Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go”), After the Fire (“Der Kommissar”), Musical Youth (“Pass the Dutchie”), Kajagoogoo (“Too Shy”) and Tracy Ullman (“They Don’t Know”). To a lesser extent, there are Paul Young, UB40, Haircut 100, Re-Flex, Talk Talk, Kim Wilde, The Style Council and Icicle Works. Six of these latter SBI artists had their sole top 40 hit in 1984, toward the end of this period, while Haircut 100 and Kim Wilde did so in the summer of 1982, early in this period. Arguably, Madness and Real Life also belong in this category, as the former followed up the top 10 “Our House” with the top 40 “It Must Be Love,” while the latter had two top 40 singles from Heart Land in 1984, “Send Me An Angel” and “Catch Me I’m Falling.”
Then there is Biding-Their-Time. Artists in this category charted during this period, but their greatest success came later. U2, Wham! (artists can be in multiple categories) and INXS top this list: the former’s War and the latter’s “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” were very successful, yet only hinted at the superstardom to come. Notably, the next single from Wham!’s Make It Big album, the #1 “Careless Whisper,” was released by “Wham! featuring George Michael.” Michael would top the massive success of Make It Big with the even bigger Faith a few years later. INXS, meanwhile, reached the top 10 with “What You Need” in 1985, propelling Listen Like Thieves to #11. Two years later, they released Kick, which reached #3 and spawned four top 10 singles – with “Need You Tonight” reaching #1.[1] Their 1990 follow-up X also reached #5 and contained the top 10 singles “Suicide Blonde” and “Disappear.”
Just below these three, meanwhile, are top 50 SBI artists like ABC, who hit the top 10 with “Be Near Me” and “When Smokey Sings” in 1985 and 1987, respectively; Howard Jones, whose Dream Into Action album reached #10 in 1985, and who had five top 20 singles between 1985 and 1989; Bananarama, whose cover of “Venus” hit #1 in 1986, followed by “I Heard A Rumour” reaching #4 the following year; and Paul Young, whose cover of Daryl Hall’s “Everytime You Go Away” reached #1 in 1985. We could also put Kim Wilde and Wang Chung in this group. The former topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 1987 with yet another cover – The Supremes’ “You Keep Me Hanging On” – while the latter hit #2 the same year with “Everybody Have Fun Tonight.”
A related category is We-Paid-Our-Dues. These SBI artists had moderate previous chart success in the United States prior to September 1981, then reached their pinnacle over the next three years. The leader of this category, of course, is The Police, as detailed in the earlier essays. The Pretenders – an admittedly debatable SBI artist – had reached the top 20 with “Brass in Pocket” in 1980, as well as the top 10 with The Pretenders in 1980 and Pretenders II in 1981. However, they achieved their most sustained singles success during this period, cracking the top 10 in 1983 with “Back on the Chain Gang” before returning to the album top 10 in 1984 with Learning to Crawl, featuring top 30 singles “Middle of the Road” and “Show Me.” Joe Jackson and The Clash, who had previously reached the top 40 with “Is She Really Going Out With Him” and “Train in Vain,” respectively, had their only American top 10 singles – “Steppin’ Out” and “Rock the Casbah” – and top 10 albums – Night and Day and Combat Rock – in late 1982/early 1983. I place Elvis Costello & the Attractions in this category as well. Despite having reached #10 in 1979 (Armed Forces) and #11 in 1980 (Get Happy!!), they did not crack the top 40 until 1983 with “Everyday I Write the Book,” even as they continued to release top 30 albums. Costello finally cracked the top 20 in the United States in 1989 with “Veronica,” two years after Squeeze did the same with “Hourglass.”
The next category is Shooting Star. These SBI artists achieved considerable chart success during this period – and only during this period. The clear leaders of this group are Men At Work and Culture Club, winners of back-to-back Best New Artist Grammy Awards in 1983 and 1984. It is hard to recall other artists who had so much chart success in such a short time, only to fade so quickly. The Fixx did have one more top 20 single (“Secret Separation”) and top 30 album (Walkabout) in 1986, but that was it as well. A Flock of Seagulls never quite recaptured the top 10 magic of 1982’s “I Ran (So Far Away)” and their top 10 eponymous debut album, despite two more top 30 singles and the top 20 Listen in 1983. Naked Eyes had four top 40 singles, with (yet another cover) “Always Something There to Remind Me” reaching the top 10, but never really achieved album success. Spandau Ballet had three top 40 singles, including the top 10 “True,” and saw True reach the top 20. But that was about it for these two bands as well.
That leaves two final smaller categories. The first consists of A-Bit-Too-British artists like Yaz, The Alarm, Heaven 17, Bow Wow Wow and, possibly, The Psychedelic Furs, despite “Pretty in Pink” and “Heartbreak Beat” reaching #41 and #26, respectively, in 1986 and 1987. The second contains Just-Getting-Started artists, whose success during the Second British Invasion continued for at least a few more years. Duran Duran clearly leads this group, which also includes Eurythmics (especially if one includes the solo work of members Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart), Billy Idol and Thompson Twins. I put Human League, who returned with a second #1 single (“Human”) in 1986, in this category as well.
The above categories account for the top 50 artists charting at least one single or album in Billboard during the Second British Invasion. Looking at the top 100 singles, though, we find two artists – JoBoxers (“Just Got Lucky”) and Nik Kershaw (“Wouldn’t It Be Good?”) – who rank #52 and #53, respectively. I put them both in the One-Hit-Wonder and A-Bit-Too-British categories. On the top 100 albums, meanwhile, we find JoBoxers’ Like Gangbusters and Nik Kershaw’s Human Racing, as well as albums by Simple Minds (artist rank #51; New Gold Dream 81-81-83-84, Sparkle in the Rain), Modern English (#54; After the Snow), Ultravox (#56; Quartet), Graham Parker (#57; The Real Macaw, Another Grey Area), Tears For Fears (#58; The Hurting), The Jam (#60; The Gift), XTC (#61; English Settlement) and Split Enz (#62; Time and Tide). Simple Minds and Tears For Fears are Biding-Their-Time, while Graham Parker is most likely We-Paid-Our-Dues having reached #40 in 1979 (Squeezing Out Sparks) and 1980 (The Up Escalator) with his band The Rumour. Modern English is tough to categorize, but I pencil them in as a One-Hit-Wonder because, while “I Melt With You” only reached #78 in 1983, it has since become iconic. The remaining four bands are clearly A-Bit-Too-British…well, A-Bit-Too-New-Zealander for Split Enz; given that lead singer Neil Finn soon formed the highly-successful Crowded House, it is tempting to call Split Enz Biding-Their-Time.
That leaves 34 artists, whom I place in the following categories:
One-Hit-Wonder: General Public (#63), Eurogliders (#71), BandAid (#86), Bronski Beat (#92)
Biding-Their-Time (artists in italics also One-Hit-Wonder): Frankie Goes to Hollywood (#55), Art of Noise (#66), Icehouse (#67), Ministry (#68), Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (#69), Depeche Mode (#76), Kate Bush (#79), The Cure (#80), Midnight Oil (#93)
We-Paid-Our-Dues: The Buggles (#84), Gary Numan (#88)
A-Bit-Too-British: Roman Holliday (#59), Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook (#64), Echo & the Bunnymen (#65), Pete Shelley (#70), Total Coelo (#72), Chaz Jankel (#73), Fun Boy Three (#74), Haysi Fantayzee (#75), The Smiths (#77), The Belle Stars (#78), Siouxsie and the Banshees (#81), Gang of Four (#82), Kissing the Pink (#83), Tim Finn (#85), Malcolm McLaren (#87), The Teardrop Explodes (#89), Minor Detail (#90),[2] Nik Heyward (#91), Shriekback (#94)
Thinking back, finally, to the roughly eight months in 1983 when I-92 “Rock of the 80s” was my favorite Philadelphia radio station, I recall British artists of this ilk whose songs I heard, but who did not chart in the United States. These include B-Movie, Blancmange, Peter Godwin, New Order and The Stranglers. Throw in The Specials, whose videos I saw either on MTV or on earlier video programs, and we reach an even 100 artists comprising the Second British Invasion – which is as good a place to stop as any.
In the next – and final – essay in this series, I present a historic overview of the Second British Invasion, tying together the first three essays into a single narrative.
