Boy George & Culture Club are No.1 with 'Let Someone Love You'.
They first stormed the British music charts in the 1980s with hits like 'Karma Chameleon' and 'Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?'. There was a running debate among the kids of the time whether George was really a boy, because his make up and fashion made some wonder - but he had such a wonderful voice that the question drifted into irrelevance. It was the music which mattered the most.
Over the years, George is been quite a character, setting and following, and designing his own style. He has run his own fashion line for some years now, called 'B-Rude'
He was nominated for a Tony Award for the show 'Taboo'.
The other members of Culture Club are Roy Hay, Mikey Craig and Jon Moss.

Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott move up to No.4 with '7" Singles'.
Paul and Jacqui have been part of the band 'The Beautiful South'.
Before 'The Beautiful South', Paul was front man with The Housemartins'.
At one stage, a major British newspaper described Paul as 'One of our finest songwriters'.
Since 2001, Paul has mostly been a solo artist.
Jacqui joined 'The Beautiful South' in 1994 but left on 2000 because of family pressures.
She reunited with Paul in 2011. Now they have recorded four albums together. Their new album is called 'The Last King of Pop'.
We could say that Paul & Jacqui are now official FAB - but they probably know that already.
