Chris de Burgh in Internet
| Chris de Burgh signed his first contract with A&M Records in 1974, and supported Supertramp on their Crime of the Century tour, building himself a small fan base.<br />His début, Far Beyond These Castle Walls, was a folk-tinged stab at fantasy in the tradition of the Moody Blues that failed to chart upon its release in February 1975.<br />That July, he released a single from the album called Flying.<br />It didn't make an impression in the U.K., but it stayed on top of the Brazilian charts for 17 weeks.<br />This became a familiar pattern for the singer/songwriter, as every one of his '70s albums failed to chart in the U.K.<br />or U.S.<br />while they racked up big sales in European and South American countries.<br />In 1981, he had his first U.K.<br />chart entry with Best Moves, a collection culled from his early albums.<br />It set the stage for 1982's Rupert Hine-produced The Getaway, which reached number 30 on the U.K.<br />charts and number 43 in the U.S., thanks to the eerie single Don't Pay the Ferryman.<br />Chris de Burgh's follow-up album, Man on the Line, also performed well, charting at 69 in the U.S.<br />and 11 in the U.K.<br />Chris de Burgh had an across-the-board success with the languid ballad The Lady in Red in late 1986; the single became a number one hit in England (number three in America) and its accompanying album, Into the Light, reached number two in the U.K.<br />(number 25 in the U.S.).<br />That Christmas season, a re-release of de Burgh's 1976 Christmas song A Spaceman Came Travelling became a Top 40 hit in the U.K.<br />Flying Colours, his follow-up to Into the Light, entered the British charts at number one upon its 1988 release, yet it failed to make the American charts.<br />de Burgh never hit the U.S.<br />charts again and his commercial fortunes began to slide slightly in Britain in the early '90s, yet he retained a following around the world.<br />This is mainly due to inactivity of his previous recording label A&M Records U.K.<br />division in U.S. (*) |
