Eurythmics

Eurythmics were a British new wave duo formed in 1980, consisting of Scottish vocalist Annie Lennox and English musician and producer Dave Stewart. They were both previously in the Tourists, a band that broke up in 1980. They released their first studio album, ''In the Garden'', in 1981 to little success, but achieved global acclaim with their second album, ''Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)'' (1983). The title track became a worldwide hit, reaching number two in the UK Singles Chart, and number one in Canada and the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100. Eurythmics went on to release a string of hit singles and albums, including "Love Is a Stranger", "There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)" and "Here Comes the Rain Again", before splitting in 1990.

Stewart became a sought-after record producer, while Lennox began a solo recording career in 1992 with her debut album ''Diva''. After almost a decade apart, Eurythmics reunited to record their ninth album, ''Peace'', released 1999. The album produced three singles – "I Saved the World Today", "17 Again" and "Peace Is Just a Word". The same year, they were awarded the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. They reunited again in 2005 to release the single "I've Got a Life", which peaked within the top ten on the singles charts in Scotland, the top twenty in the United Kingdom and reaching number one on the US Dance Club Songs Charts, as part of a new compilation album, ''Ultimate Collection''.

Eurythmics have sold an estimated 75 million records worldwide. Their awards include the MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist in 1984, the Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1987, and the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music in 1999. They were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005, the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2020, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022. Provided by Wikipedia
