This is a discography of the singles and albums of British pop group Brotherhood of Man.
All singles and albums from 1974 are from a completely different line-up to the earlier releases.[1] The earlier releases (on the Deram label) were credited to The Brotherhood of Man.
The group's first appearance on the chart was on 14 February 1970 in the UK with the single "United We Stand".[2] This went on to become a hit in many other countries, including the US.[3]
The first chart appearance of the later line-up is with the 1974 single "Lady" in Belgium and Holland.[4] The first appearance by this line-up in the UK is with the single "Save Your Kisses For Me" on 13 March 1976.[2] The song's entry at No.14 was the second highest Top 50 chart entry of that year (second to Queen's "Somebody to Love", which rose from 51 to 4 in a single week), due to its selection as the UK entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 1976.
The first appearance on the UK album charts is with Love and Kisses on 24 April 1976.[2]
Their final single chart appearance anywhere in the world was in the UK with the single "Lightning Flash" on 10 July 1982. The 3CD set Gold, released by Demon music, saw the group return to the UK album chart at No 29. Their final appearance was 30 May 2019.[2]
Altogether they spent 98 weeks in the UK singles chart (including eight weeks at No.1) and 42 weeks in the album chart.
