The 7" single was released only in North America, peaking at #9 in the U.S. and #5 in Canada. In Australia, it was released in September 1983 as a Double A-side single with Karma Chameleon, peaking at #1 and receiving substantial airplay. With this single, in America, Culture Club was the first band to have three Top 10 singles from a debut album since the Beatles. Much like the group's two prior American hits, this song was aided by a hugely popular MTV music video.

gollark: In my experience they're 931GiB or GB or who even knows what.
gollark: It's not entirely marketing, there's weirdness because SOME PEOPLE don't use the right units.
gollark: I doubt it, they still need a convenient way to say "stores X bits a cell" internally.
gollark: It would have been much more sensible to use 1LC/2LC/3LC but noooo...
gollark: TLC does three bits a cell, so you get 2³ = 8 voltage levels, etc. - you trade off endurance and speed for density.
