"Barbados" was a UK number one single in August 1975 by Typically Tropical.[1] "Barbados" entered the UK Singles Chart on 5 July 1975, and five weeks later was at #1 for one week.[1] In total, "Barbados" spent eleven weeks in the chart.[1] The track also reached #1 on the Irish Singles Chart and #20 on the Australian Singles Chart (Kent Music Report).[2] The track was later released on an album in 1975 by Gull Records. The Album was named 'Barbados Sky'.
Follow-up singles "Rocket Now" and "Ghost Story" failed to chart.[3] This left Typically Tropical billed as one-hit wonders. However, in 1999 a reworked version of the song, renamed "We're Going To Ibiza!", also reached the UK #1 spot for The Vengaboys.[3]
