2021 will mark 30 years since Jesus Jones released their number 1 album “Doubt” and to celebrate it they will be touring and playing the album in it’s entirety
Their
first album, 1989’s“Liquidizer” with its singles “Never Enough” and
“Info Freako” saw them selling over 80,000 copies and obtaining their
first silver disc, It led to them touring the UK and
Europe, wowing critics and fans with a high-energy live show that was to
become the band’s trademark.
Within a
year, things really started to happen. When it was first released, at
the start of 1991, their second album “Doubt” quickly became a
phenomenon. It entered the UK charts at number one and
gave the band their first gold disc.
It would
also see massive sales around the world, including Canada (where it went
platinum), as well as Japan and Australia. However, perhaps the album’s
greatest success was in the US, where it
went platinum, selling well in excess of a million copies. This was
driven by the single “Right Here, Right Now”, which was a huge MTV hit
(it was, at the time, the longest-running video on their playlist,
ever).The single reached number one, and still remains
an anthem to this day.
The album
also spawned a number of other huge worldwide hits, including
“International Bright Young Thing”, and “Who? Where? Why?”. The band
were awarded an MTV award for “Best New Artist”, as well
as being nominated for a Grammy. |
