With their top single โ€œBaby I Donโ€™t Careโ€ reaching number 3 in the UK and Australian Charts, the band drew global media attention for their rebellious and anarchic image.

Formed in 1986, their 1988 debut album ๐‘ท๐’๐’‘ ๐‘จ๐’“๐’• peaked at #4 on the UK album charts and was ๐œ๐ž๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐Ÿ๐ข๐ž๐ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ง ๐€๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐š๐ฅ๐ข๐š. ๐“๐ซ๐š๐ง๐ฌ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐•๐š๐ฆ๐ฉ followed up with their notorious 1989 album ๐•๐ž๐ฅ๐ฏ๐ž๐ญ๐ž๐ž๐ง, delivering their #1 hit โ€œBaby I Donโ€™t Careโ€. Proving to be their most successful year, 1989 saw the band spent 20 weeks in the Australian top 50 single charts and 25 in the top 100 album charts.

Front-woman Wendy James went on to pursue a successful solo career spanning an additional seven studio albums, including a notable collaboration with Elvis Costello. She served as a feminist symbol in the 80โ€™s for unapologetic self-expression and fearless leadership.
