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.[5] The song's entry at No.14 was the second highest chart entry of that year (following Queen's "Somebody to Love" at No.4).
The first appearance on the UK album charts is with Love and Kisses in 24 April 1976.[6]
Their final chart appearance anywhere in the world was in the UK with the single "Lightning Flash" on 10 July 1982.[7]
Altogether they spent 98 weeks in the UK singles chart (including eight weeks at No.1) and 40 weeks in the album chart.
