| - Bananarama was formed in London in 1981 by childhood friends Keren Woodward and Sarah Dallin and their friend Siobhan Fahey.After a debut single produced by former Sex Pistols member Paul Cook that shook the UK pop market to its very foundation (a #92 smash), they teamed up with ex Specials member Terry Hall's new band, Fun Boy Three. %22It Ain't What You Do%22, released in February 1982 entered the UK charts at number 4.International success came with their self-titled second album produced by Tony Swain and Steve Jolley and the monster hit single %22Cruel Summer%22.In 1986, the girls teamed up with UK dance music super-producers [a20942] and achieved number one all around the world, including the US, with their cover of the Shocking Blue's classic %22Venus%22. In 1988, the trio were named by the Guinness Book of Records as the most successful female group in pop history, beating Supremes. They celebrated by releasing a SAW-produced version of the Supremes' %22Nathan Jones%22. After the single's release however, Fahey decided to leave the trio to form Shakespear's Sister. She was replaced by Jacquie O'Sullivan who had appeared with the original Bananarama line-up in the Eurythmics video for %22Who's That Girl%22, back in June 1983. O'Sullivan left in late 1991.Sara and Keren have since continued as a duo.Following a one-off reunion recording of ABBA's %22Waterloo%22 with Siobhan in April 1998 for Channel 4's %22Eurotrash%22 TV series hosted by Jean Paul Gaultier, the duo returned in 2001 with their 8th studio album, Exotica. In February 2002, Bananarama celebrated their 20th anniversary, joined on-stage by Siobhan. Their 2005 club hit %22Move In My Direction%22 is their first UK single release since 1993.All through their career the girls have, together or individually, married Eurythmics' male half (David A. Stewart), dated Wham!'s straight half (Andrew Ridgeley), reached the UK top 3 with French and Saunders, appeared on both the original Band Aid and Band Aid II, met Robert De Niro, shot a Japanese commercial with Peter Fonda and appeared in the movie Rules Of Attraction.In April 2017 it was announced that Fahey would be rejoining the duo for a full UK tour and the trio discussed possibilities of a new single.

Their success on both pop and dance charts have earned the group a listing in The Guinness Book of World Records as the all-female group with the most chart entries in the world, a record which they still hold. They released their debut single %22Aie a Mwana%22 in 1981. Between 1982 and 2009, they had 28 singles reach the Top 50 of the UK singles chart. Their 10 UK Top 10 hits include %22It Ain't What You Do...%22 (1982), %22Really Saying Something%22 (1982), %22Shy Boy%22 (1982), %22Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye%22 (1983), %22Cruel Summer%22 (1983), %22Robert De Niro's Waiting...%22 (1984) and %22Love in the First Degree%22 (1987). In 1986, they had a US number one with another of their UK Top 10 hits, %22Venus%22. In total, they had 11 singles reach the US Billboard Hot 100 (1982-1988), including two more in the top 10, with %22Cruel Summer%22 (1984) and %22I Heard a Rumour%22 (1987). They are associated with the MTV-driven Second British Invasion of the US. In 1988, %22Love in the First Degree%22 earned them a Brit Award nomination for Best British Single, while their fourth album Wow! (1987), topped the Australian album chart.Following Fahey's departure from the group in 1988, Jacquie O'Sullivan joined the group for three years and they had UK Top 10 hits with %22I Want You Back%22 (1988) and %22Help!%22 (1989). In addition to their chart success, the band is also known for their vocal style, generally singing in unison rather than in harmony like most vocal groups. Since 1992, Woodward and Dallin have continued Bananarama as a duo, with hits including %22Movin' On%22 (1992) and %22More, More, More%22 (1993). In 2005, they had their first UK Top 40 hits in 12 years, with the singles %22Move in My Direction%22 and %22Look on the Floor (Hypnotic Tango)%22.
