They were huge over here at one time. Were they popular in the US ?

Never heard of them. Very 80s techno sounding. Not my style.

White 6 beat me to it... never heard either... it's clearly technopop from the 80's....

But the problem are not the electronic keyboards, Tainnant.... the problem is that "The Number One Song in Heaven" has a crappy melody .
