T'pau burst onto the music scene in 1987 with the hit Heart & Soul, reaching No. 4 in both the UK & US charts. This led to a meteoric rise in T'pau's fortunes at home & in the USA, where the track stayed on the US Billboard Chart for six months. After a European Arena Tour supporting Bryan Adams and another UK Tour of their own. T’pau’s next single China In Your Hand stayed at No1 for five weeks - the longest serving No1 of the year. Simultaneously, their debut album Bridge of Spies occupied the No1 album slot for two weeks and went on to become a certified quadruple platinum in the UK - selling 1.2 million copies. Their own arena concerts followed, and the subsequent 1988 record Rage also went platinum. T’Pau enjoy the exclusive title of holding three simultaneous No.1 slots; China No.1 in the singles charts, Bridge of Spies No.1 in the album charts and the China Remix at No.1 in the dance charts!
