adam ant didnt even chart when he was doing his punk thing with titles like "naked" and a few others i dont even care to remember
it wasnt until he dropped punk completely and started pandering to children that he gained any success in the charts.The gimmicks and rumours about the white line accross his face made them sort of interesting its just a shame teh white line went from above his nose to underneath it when he moved to hollywood to become an epic failure as an actor lol
In my defence when adam and the ants were at their career highlight i was about 8 or 9 years old but i did get his back catalogue from my older step sister and even at such a tender age recognised his punk stuff to be utter garbage.
Seems dropping punk made quite a few bands flourish lol
