Human League
The Human League are a British synth-pop band formed in Sheffield, England, in 1977. Initially an experimental electronic outfit, the group signed to Virgin Records in 1979 and later attained widespread commercial success with their third album Dare in 1981 after restructuring their lineup. The album produced the hit singles "The Sound of the Crowd", "Love Action ", "Open Your Heart" and "Don't You Want Me", which topped the UK Singles Chart and became the country's Christmas number one single of 1981. 'Don't You Want Me' also topped the charts in several countries, including Belgium (Flanders), Canada, New Zealand and the United States. The band received the Brit Award for Best British Breakthrough Act in 1982. Further hits followed throughout the 1980s and into the 1990s, including the non-album singles "Mirror Man" (1982) and "(Keep Feeling) Fascination" (1983), "The Lebanon" from the album Hysteria (1984), "Human" from the album Crash (1986) and "Tell Me When" from the album Octopus (1995).
