- The Human League are a British synthpop band. Formed in Sheffield in 1977, they achieved popularity after a key change in line-up in the early 1980s. They have continued recording and performing with moderate commercial success throughout the 1980s up to the present day. Originally an avant-garde all male synthesizer-based group from Sheffield, the only constant band member since 1977 is vocalist and songwriter Philip Oakey. Since 1987, the band has essentially been a trio of Oakey and long-serving female vocalists Joanne Catherall and Susan Ann Sulley (who joined the band in 1980), with various additional musicians. The Human League have influenced many electro-pop, other synthpop, and mainstream acts including Madonna, Moby and Little Boots . They have been sampled and covered by various artists including YMO, Ministry of Sound, Craig David, George Michael and Robbie Williams. Since 1978, they have released nine studio albums, twenty six singles (including 8 UK top 10 singles with 2 number one singles in the US/UK) and played over 350 live concerts. The Human League have sold an estimated 20 million records worldwide.

- The Human League es un grupo inglés de música synth-pop formado en 1977. Iniciadores de este estilo y pioneros en el uso de los sintetizadores en Inglaterra, lograron gran popularidad en la década de los '80 luego de un cambio en sus integrantes. El único miembro original de la banda, que continúa hasta la actualidad, es el vocalista y compositor Philip Oakey. La agrupación ha continuado grabando álbumes y presentándose en vivo, con un moderado éxito comercial durante los 1990 y los 2000. En el presente, el grupo es presentado como un trío, de Oakey junto a sus dos compañeras Joanne Catherall y Susan Ann Sulley.
- Human League on brittiläinen vuonna 1977 perustettu yhtye, joka on yksi ensimmäisiä suuren yleisön suosioon kohonneita synthpop-yhtyeitä. Yhtyeen ensiaskeleet otettiin Sheffieldissä, Englannissa, kun kosketinsoittajat Martyn Ware ja Ian Craig Marsh muodostivat duon nimeltä Dead Daughters. Nimi Human League otettiin käyttöön, kun laulaja Philip Oakey liittyi mukaan. Alkutaipalellaan Human League panosti musiikin lisäksi visuaalisuuteen, ja tätä puolta hoitamaan yhtyeeseen liittyi diakuvilla live-esityksiä höystänyt Philip Adrian Wright. Yhtyeen kaksi ensimmäistä albumia eivät olleet suuria kaupallisia menestyksiä, ja sisäisten ristiriitojen ajamina perustajajäsenet Ware ja Marsh jättivät yhtyeen vuoden 1980 lopulla perustaakseen British Electric Foundationin ja myöhemmin Heaven 17 -yhtyeen. Waren ja Marshin tilalle yhtyeeseen liittyivät basisti Ian Burden sekä laulajattaret Susan Ann Sulley ja Joanne Catherall. Uudella kokoonpanolla uutta Dare -nimistä albumia työstämään lähtenyt Human League sai ensimmäisen UK top-10 hittinsä kappaleella "Love Action", joka nousi singlelistalla kolmanneksi. Itse albumista on tullut yksi synapopin merkittävimpinä pidettyjä julkaisuja. Levyltä lohkaistiin lisää singlehittejä: "Open Your Heart" nousi brittilistalla kuudenneksi, ja kappaleesta "Don't You Want Me" tuli yksi vuoden suurimpia hittejä. Se nousi sekä Britanniassa että USA:ssa listaykköseksi, ja kappale tunnetaan yhtenä 1980-luvulle tyypillisen musiikin arkkityypeistä. Levyn julkaisun jälkeen yhtyeeseen liittyi kitaristi Jo Callis, ja Human Leaguen menestys jatkui 1980-luvun puoleen väliin saakka. Sen jälkeen yhtye on tehnyt vaihtelevasti menestyneitä comebackeja supistetulla kokoonpanolla. Human Leaguen toistaiseksi viimeinen alkuperäistä materiaalia sisältänyt julkaisu on albumi Secrets vuodelta 2001.
