Btw,

Has anyone heard Royal Visionaries - Back to Yazoo ? It´s a great little synth track where both Alphaville and Yazoo are mentioned in the chorus:

(chorus)
it’s over the hill
to alphaville
then back to yazoo
ooh yazoo
ooh yazoo
it’s over the hill
to alphaville
then back to yazoo
ooh yazoo
ooh yazoo

To be honest.....I think Alphaville have sold most records as they have released a lot more different albums and singles than Yazoo. AV have also had the biggest hit (Big in Japan) and the Forever young album has sold more than both Yazoo albums. I don't have the exact numbers to back it up but I'm pretty certain anyway....

Really? I think that Yazoo has had bigger hits over the world than Alphaville has. Remember, AV never really hit in the UK or US, Yazoo did it all over the world.

I think it depends largely on what part of the country, as far as the US is concerned.

The way I see it, while neither got much recognition in the Seattle area, a station in Los Angeles probably had more requests for it. I remember hearing "BiJ" when it was new, but "FY" didn't get played anywhere near as much. And I don't recall a station playing any Yaz at all.

Like I said in a previous post, these people don't know what they've been missing. Thank heavens for XM Radio! (Fred on 44 is the alternative station that plays both and a lot more!)

....It's a really great song, actually I were trying to remix it once, but I were never quite satisfied with it...too boring I guess.....anyway, have a listen here if you like:
