"More Than This" was released in 1982 as the lead single from Roxy Music's eighth and final studio album, Avalon. Written by Bryan Ferry, the song became one of the band's most enduring and critically acclaimed recordings, reaching No. 6 on the UK Singles Chart and entering the Top... 10 in several countries. Although it achieved only modest success in the United States, its dreamy production and elegant arrangement helped transform it into a defining song of the sophisti-pop era. The song's legacy was further amplified two decades later when it became a pivotal moment in Sofia Coppola's film Lost in Translation (2003), famously performed by Bill Murray during a memorable Tokyo karaoke scene. While Roxy Music's original version failed to reach the US Top 100, a cover by 10,000 Maniacs featuring Mary Ramsey became a Top 25 hit in America in 1997, introducing the song to an entirely new audience.show more

Well, the video for "More Than This" is one of the earliest videos I remember seeing on MTV circa 1982/1983. As a longtime fan, I will never understand why Bryan Ferry put Roxy Music on sabbatical in 1976 and then all but ended the band by 1984. Oh well.

There is a cover by Blondie in Lost in Translation, just beautiful.

It was a hit here in the USA. The video was on all the time on MTV. Back when MTV was a 24/7 music channel. 🎶 I still listen to that album, it’s timeless.

Well, the Billboard Hot 100 is not a reliable source in regards of music quality. «Zombie» by The Cranberries didn’t achieve the ranking either, despite being the flag-ship song of their career.

“Cruel Summer” was released in 1983 as a standalone single by Bananarama and was later included on the American edition of the group’s 1984 self-titled album. Inspired by a rare heatwave in London, the song captured the frustration and restlessness of a sweltering city summer, while its video was filmed in New York during another bout of intense heat. The single reached #8 in the UK, but it was its inclusion in The Karate Kid (1984) that gave it major exposure in the United States, where it reached #9 on Billboard Hot 100 and became Bananarama’s first American Top 10 hit.

“Gloria” is an English-language reworking of Umberto Tozzi and Giancarlo Bigazzi's 1979 Italian hit. After hearing the song, Laura Branigan recorded her version for her debut album Branigan (1982). Rather than simply translating the original lyrics, Branigan and her collaborators transformed the song into a dramatic character study of a woman spiralling emotionally, giving the track a powerful new identity. The song became Branigan's breakthrough hit, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, where it spent 36 weeks (a record at the time for a single by a solo female artist) and topping the charts in Canada and Australia. “Gloria” was famously kept from the No. 1 spot in the United States for three weeks, first by Lionel Richie's “Truly” and then by Toni Basil's “Mickey.” The song also reached No. 6 on the UK Singles Chart and earned Branigan a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female. Decades later the song enjoyed renewed exposure through its memorable use in Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), introducing the iconic hit to a new generation.

In April 2026, "Mr. Brightside" became the first song in history to reach 500 weeks on the UK Official Singles Chart. It had previously earned a Guinness World Record in 2024 for the most cumulative weeks on the UK Singles Chart by a group, and later also became the first song ever to reach the 500-week milestone. The craziest part? Despite all those records the track never reached #1, peaking at #10 in 2004. Thanks to its extraordinary longevity (driven largely by streaming), it has become the UK's biggest single never to reach #1, turning an initial Top 10 hit into one of the most successful songs in British chart history.
