The band comprised Boy George (lead vocals), Roy Hay (guitar and keyboards), Mikey Craig (bass guitar) and Jon Moss (drums and percussion). Their second album, Colour by Numbers, sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. It has been certified triple platinum in the UK and quadruple platinum in the US. It was ranked No. 96 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 100 Best Albums of the 1980s and is also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. The band had several international hits with songs such as %22Do You Really Want to Hurt Me%22, %22Time (Clock of the Heart)%22, %22I'll Tumble 4 Ya%22, %22Church of the Poison Mind%22, %22Karma Chameleon%22, %22Miss Me Blind%22, %22Victims%22, %22It's a Miracle%22, %22The War Song%22, %22Move Away%22, and %22I Just Wanna Be Loved%22. Boy George's androgynous style of dressing caught the attention of the public and the media. The group, supporters of the synth pop genre, made numerous forays into reggae and showed a strong propensity for the subgenre of ballads. They are considered one of the most representative and influential groups of the eighties. They have sold more than 50 million records. Ten of their singles reached the US Top 40, where they are associated with the Second British Invasion of British new wave groups that became popular in the United States due to the cable music channel MTV. Culture Club's music combines British new wave and American soul with Jamaican reggae and also other styles such as calypso, salsa or country.In 1984, Culture Club won the Brit Award for Best British Group, the Grammy Award for Best New Artist, and Best British Single (%22Karma Chameleon%22). They were nominated the same year for the Grammy Award for Pop Vocal by Group or Duo but the English rock band The Police won the award. The band were also nominated for a Canadian Juno Award for International Album of the Year. In January 1985, Culture Club were nominated for an American Music Award for Favorite Pop/Rock Band/Duo/Group Video Artist, and in September 1985, they were nominated for two MTV Video Music Awards for Best Special Effects and Best Art Direction for their video %22It's a Miracle%22. In 1987, they received another nomination for an American Music Award for Favorite Pop/Rock Band/Duo/Group Video Artist In the UK they amassed twelve Top 40 hit singles between 1982–1999, including the number ones %22Do You Really Want To Hurt Me%22 and %22Karma Chameleon%22, the latter being the biggest selling single of 1983, and topped the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1984. %22Time (Clock of the Heart)%22 has been included on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's list of 500 songs that shaped rock and roll.
