With over 60 million albums sold worldwide, five UK number-one albums, 1.8 billion streams across streaming platforms worldwide, and over 1 million YouTube subscribers, Simply Red remains one of the UK’s most successful and well-loved bands.

Their 1991 classic Stars was the best-selling album for two years running in Britain and Europe, and all 13 of Simply Red’s studio albums, including their latest release ‘Time’, have reached the top 10.
