They scored two minor Billboard Hot 100 hits in 1992 with "The Hitman" (#60) and "Get Up (Move Boy Move)" (#83). [4] In Australia, "The Hitman" reached the top 10 on the ARIA singles chart in 1993, and was certified gold. [5] Another charting single, "AB Logic", was released in 1993.
Although "The Hitman" never made the UK national charts, it was a regional hit in North East England, making the Top 20 of MRIB's chart for Metro Radio in that region. [6]
