The Kids from Fame Album was released in the U.K. in July 1982 licensed to BBC records from RCA music. The BBC was only allowed to advertise it’s own products and in order for the album to be advertised at the end of each episode it needed to be on the BBC label. It soon became the biggest selling BBC album ever.
The album entered the U.K. charts at number 16 on 24th July 1982. Two weeks later it was at number one and stayed there for the next 8 weeks until Season One of the show had finished being broadcast. Over the course of the next year it spent 46 weeks on the U.K. charts, 12 of which were at number one. The album achieved platinum status and became the 2nd best selling U.K. album of 1982. In total it had sales in excess of 1,050,000 and was the 42nd best selling album of the 80s in the U.K.
What Did You think of the album? Did you buy the Album straight away? Did you manage to get your album signed by any of the cast?
