"Relax"
is the debut single by Frankie Goes
to Hollywood, released in the United Kingdom
by ZTT Records in 1983.
The song was later included on the álbum Welcome to the
Pleasuredome(1984).
Although
fairly inauspicious upon initial release, "Relax" finally reached Mnumber one on the UK singles chart on 22 January 1984, ultimately becoming one of the most
controversial and most commercially successful records of the decade. The
single eventually sold a reported 2 million copies in the UK alone, making it
the seventh best-selling single in the UK Singles Chart's
history. Following the release of the group's second single, "Two Tribes",
"Relax" rallied from a declining UK chart position during June 1984
to climb back up the UK charts and re-attain the number 2 spot behind "Two
Tribes" at number 1, making them the only act at the time to have occupied
the top two simultaneously apart from The Beatles and John Lennon.
Upon its release in the United States, "Relax"
repeated its slow UK progress. In its initial release, it peaked
at number 67 in May 1984. In January 1985, it re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number 70, eventually reaching number 10 in March.
The song
won Best British Single at the 1985 Brit Awards.
The song
featured on the soundtrack of the films Body Double and T2 Trainspotting, in the
game, Grand Theft
Auto: Vice City Stories in the
fictional in-game radio station Wave 103,
and on the soundtrack to Black Mirror:
Bandersnatch.
