Frankie Goes to Hollywood

Liverpool five-piece fronted by Holly Johnson whose first three singles all reached number one in the UK.

Overview

Frankie Goes to Hollywood

Official Charts identifies Frankie Goes to Hollywood as a Liverpool five-piece fronted by Holly Johnson and documents three UK number-one singles, including Relax, Two Tribes and The Power of Love.

Universal Music identifies Frankie Goes to Hollywood within the ZTT catalogue and names Welcome to the Pleasuredome and its major singles.

Why it matters

Frankie Goes to Hollywood is retained as an organisation relationship because the accessioned December 1984 issue of The Face explicitly bills Paul Rutherford and the group, while authoritative music-industry sources verify the group identity and its ZTT catalogue context.
