Pop Song.

‘Killer’ by Adamski, featuring a then unknown 17 27-year-old singer named Seal. Released in 1990, it reached #1 on the UK Top 40, remaining there for 4 weeks.

Stream Apocalypse now.

They followed with 1989’s “Enter Sandman”, which entered the Top 10 in seven countries, and remains a staple in their concert performances to this day.
