Frankie Goes to Hollywood (FGTH) was a UK dance-pop band that were extremely popular in the mid 1980s. The Liverpool group was fronted by Holly Johnson, supported by Paul Rutherford, Peter Gill, Mark O'Toole and Brian Nash . The group's debut single "Relax" was famously banned by the BBC while at number six in the charts, and subsequently topped the UK singles chart for five consecutive weeks, going on to enjoy prolonged chart success throughout 1984 and ultimately becoming the seventh best-selling UK single of all time . Following the follow-up success of "Two Tribes" and "The Power of Love", FGTH became only the second act in the history of the UK charts to reach number one with their first three singles; the first being Gerry and the Pacemakers in 1964.

  • Frankie Goes to Hollywood fue un grupo techno pop inglés, formado en Liverpool, a principios de los años 80. Consiguieron mucho éxito en el Reino Unido y en otros países con canciones como "Relax", con letras que aludían explícitamente a la homosexualidad, "Two Tribes", "The Power of Love" y "Welcome to the Pleasuredome". Su formación incluía a Holly Johnson (previamente bajista de Big In Japan) y Paul Rutherford como vocalistas, Mark O'Toole y Brian Nash, respectivamente, al bajo y a la guitarra, y Peter Gill a la batería. La banda se disolvió en 1987, motivado fundamentalmente por peleas internas dentro del grupo, especialmente en contra del cantante Johnson. (es)
  • Frankie Goes to Hollywood (FGTH) oli yksi kiistellyimmistä ja kaupallisesti menestyneimmistä brittiläisistä new wave -yhtyeistä 1980-luvun alussa. Yhtyeen muodostivat laulaja Holly Johnson, taustalaulaja Paul Rutherford, rumpali Peter Gill, basisti Mark O'Toole ja kitaristi Brian Nash. Yhtyeen debyyttisingle "Relax" oli esityskiellossa BBC:llä samaan aikaan kun se oli Englannin listan sijalla kuusi. Single piti myöhemmin listan kärkipaikkaa viisi viikkoa peräkkäin. Kappale oli vuonna 2006 seitsemänneksi parhaiten myynyt brittiläinen single. Myös yhtyeen kaksi seuraavaa kappaletta "Two Tribes" ja "The Power of Love" ylsivät kärkisijalle, ja yhtyeestä tuli historian toinen yhtye, jonka kaikki kolme ensimmäistä singleä ovat saavuttaneet ykkössijan Ison-Britannian listalla .

  • Frankie Goes to Hollywood var en af de mest kontroversielle og kommercielt succesrige britiske new wave-grupper i begyndelsen af 1980'erne. Gruppen, der blev dannet i Liverpool, havde sangeren Holly Johnson som frontfigur, støttet af Paul Rutherford (kor), Peter Gill, Mark O'Toole og Brian Nash . Under megen omtale forbød BBC at gruppens debutsingle "Relax" blev spillet på deres radiokanaler, det skete mens singlen lå nummer seks på hitlisterne. Singlen endte med at ligge nummer ét fem uger i træk i 1984, og blev den syvendebedst sælgende single i Storbritannien nogen sinde . Med opfølgersinglerne "Two Tribes" og "The Power Of Love" blev Frankie Goes to Hollywood den anden gruppe i Storbrianniens hitlistehistorie, der nåede topplaceringen med deres første tre singler .
