Chartography - Alphaville

Here I won't post only music grands - the lesser-known performers will also get attention. Like Alphaville, for instance - major stars and probably the biggest European débutantes of 1984. There was literally no country on the continent that escaped their charms - and these also extended far outside (to much lesser extent, though). And thankfully such phenomenal success has been for a reason - their initial hits are pure gold, pop evergreens fondly remembered and oft-covered to this day. So it's a small wonder that they were unable to prolong their success and by 1987 it was practically over. Changing music trends played a big part, no doubt, and frankly even their debut album was eneven, and the later ones were quite spotty too. But still they declined too swiftly, even losing ground in their homeland of (West) Germany. Surprisingly they had a short comeback in German-speaking territories in 2010 (!). Still, they are active as a live band and are well-loved by audiences. And their widespread success warranted this compendium (which looks impressive for any band - on first pages, at least😏).
