| quote: | "Rivers of Babylon", with lyrics partially based on Psalm 137, became the second highest selling single of all time in the UK in 1978, while the B-side "Brown Girl in the Ring" was given extensive airplay on radio. It sold 500 copies short of 2 million.
The group also achieved a second UK million seller with their version of the calypso classic "Mary's Boy Child" which was previously a million seller for Harry Belafonte.
On a list of the best selling singles in the United Kingdom, issued in 2002, Boney M appear fifth and tenth places respectively, with the two above singles. They are the only act to appear twice in the Top 10; a feat not even the Beatles were able to achieve. |
Even my parents had this cassette - I was brainwashed as a child - I can still remember how much shit I got into when the tape got stuck in the busted stereo I had, lol.
