Founded after the dissolution of their first band, the mod-influenced Graduate, they were initially associated with the new wave synthesizer bands of the early 1980s but later branched out into mainstream rock and pop, which led to international chart success. They were part of the MTV-driven Second British Invasion of the US. Their platinum-selling debut album, ''The Hurting'', reached number one on the UK Albums Chart, while their second album, ''Songs from the Big Chair'', reached number one on the US ''Billboard'' 200, achieving multi-platinum status in both the UK and the US.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher= RIAA )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.bpi.co.uk/certified-awards.aspx )〕 Their second album contained two ''Billboard'' Hot 100 number ones: "Shout" and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World"', the latter winning the Brit Award for Best British Single in 1986.〔.

The duo re-formed in 2000 and released an album of new material, ''Everybody Loves a Happy Ending'', in 2004. Since 2013, the duo have been working on their seventh album. To date, Tears for Fears have sold over 30 million albums worldwide, including more than 8 million in the US. ==Career== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tears for Fears」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
