Forgotten From The 80s: Berlin


With there biggest album Pleasure Victim released Berlin established themselves as pop stars of the 80s. Terri Nunn was the playful kitten fronting the band. With songs like Sex (I'm a...) making its way to the rock airwaves with a double A-side with The Metro. Another catchy pop single off the record was Masquerade. While none of these songs made top 40 they did all right. Sex (I'm a...) reached 62, The Metro reached 58, and Maquerade hit 82 all on the pop charts. Later releases featured other hits Now It's My Turn + Like Flames, 74 + 82 on the pop chart respectively. Another single You Don't Know did not chart in the U.S. but was one of there most successful u.k. hits at 39 on there charts. This is a bonus because Sex/Metro was a double A-side.
