Thompson Twins were synonymous with the second wave of British invasion that characterised the 1980s. Their biggest album was Into The Gap. Released in 1984, it was their fourth album and the most successful.
It reached number one in the UK, Top Ten on the US Billboard charts and was a Top 5 album on the Australian album charts. Their global success of Into The Gap led to 7 top 40 hits in the US and 10 in the UK with another 4 top 40 hits in the US Dance Chart.
Into The Gap was followed by hit singles ‘Lay Your Hands On Me’ and ‘King For A Day’ and an appearance on Live Aid where they performed alongside Nile Rogers, who was working with the Thompson Twins on a new album at the time and a young rising superstar called Madonna.
