June 16, 1984 –
Frankie Goes To Hollywood had their second UK No.1 single, on this date, with Two Tribes. It stayed at No.1 for nine weeks making Frankie Goes To Hollywood the first band to have their first two singles go to the top of the UK chart. During this run the group’s previous single Relax climbed back up the charts to No.2.
Former 10cc band members Lol Creme and Kevin Godley produced a memorable video featuring a no-holds-barred, hand-to-hand fight between Ronald Reagan and then Soviet leader Konstantin Chernenko. Godley recalled to Q magazine: “It was a very intense shoot. We were trying to get the audience to behave in a manner that we wanted to by chanting, ‘Kill! Kill! Kill!’ A few of them seriously got into the spirit of it by jumping in the ring and beating each other up!“
