Frankie Goes to Hollywood | #FGHT
(Holly Johnson, Paul Rutherford, Mark O’Toole, Brian Nash, Peter Gill)
[1981-1987], Liverpool, Merseyside, United Kingdom

Frankie Goes to Hollywood (FGTH) were a British band popular in the mid-1980s.

The group’s 1983 debut single « Relax » was banned by the BBC in 1984 while at number six in the charts and subsequently topped the UK Singles Chart for five consecutive weeks, going on to enjoy prolonged chart success throughout that year and ultimately becoming the seventh best-selling UK single of all time. It also won the 1985 Brit Award for Best British Single. After the follow-up success of « Two Tribes » and « The Power of Love », the group became only the second act in the history of the UK charts to reach number one with their first three singles; the first being fellow Liverpudlians Gerry and the Pacemakers. This record remained unbeaten until the Spice Girls achieved a six-single streak in 1996–97. In 1985, Frankie Goes to Hollywood won the Brit Award for Best British Newcomer, and the band also received Grammy Award and MTV Video Music Award nominations for Best New Artist.

Songwriters Johnson, Gill and O’Toole received the 1984 Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically for « Two Tribes ». In 2015, the song was voted by the British public as the nation’s 14th favourite 1980s number one in a poll for ITV.
