The English-American hard rock band Whitesnake have released thirteen studio albums, nine live albums, twelve compilation albums, three box sets, two extended plays (EPs), 40 singles, nine video albums and 29 music videos. Formed in London in 1978 by vocalist David Coverdale, the band originally featured guitarists Micky Moody and Bernie Marsden, bassist Neil Murray, keyboardist Peter Solley and drummer Dave Dowle. [1] The group's debut EP Snakebite was released in June 1978 and reached number 61 on the UK Singles Chart. [2] After replacing Solley with Jon Lord, [1] the band released their debut full-length album Trouble later in the year, which reached number 50 on the UK Albums Chart. [3] 1979's Lovehunter reached number 29 on the chart. [3] Lead single "Long Way from Home" charted at number 55. [2]
Dowle was replaced by Ian Paice after the release of Lovehunter, [4] and in 1980 Whitesnake reached the UK top ten for the first time with Ready an' Willing , which peaked at number 6 and was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). [3] [5] The album was also the band's first to register on the US Billboard 200, reaching number 90. [6] The album's lead single "Fool for Your Loving" reached number 13 on the UK Singles Chart. [2] The group's first live release, Live... in the Heart of the City , reached number 5 on the UK Albums Chart and was certified platinum by the BPI.

[3] Three singles from across the two albums reached the UK Singles Chart top 40. [2]
After a brief hiatus and several lineup changes, Whitesnake resurfaced in 1984 with Slide It In , which was their first album to reach the US top 40. [6] It was also the band's first release to be certified by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), reaching double platinum status. [7] 1987's Whitesnake was even more successful, reaching number 2 on the Billboard 200, [6] number 5 on the Canadian Albums Chart, and the top ten in several other regions. The album was certified eight times platinum by the RIAA, [7] five times platinum by Music Canada, [8] and platinum by the BPI. [5] The single "Here I Go Again" topped the Billboard Hot 100 and the Canadian Singles Chart, [9] as well as reaching the top ten of the UK Singles Chart. [2] Its follow-up "Is This Love" reached number 2 on the Hot 100 and number 9 in the UK. [9] [2] The band's 1989 release Slip of the Tongue was the band's only other album to reach the US top ten, [6] and the last to be certified by the RIAA (reaching platinum status). [7]
Whitesnake broke up in 1991. Three years later, Greatest Hits was released as the band's first compilation album, reaching number 4 on the UK Albums Chart and being certified gold by the BPI. [3] [5] The band returned with Restless Heart in 1997, which peaked at number 34 in the UK. [3] In late 2002 the band returned on a permanent basis. The 2003 compilation Best of Whitesnake reached number 44 in the UK and was certified gold by the BPI, [3] [5] while the 2006 video release Live... in the Still of the Night reached number 2 on the UK Music Video Chart and was also certified gold. [10] [5] Whitesnake's tenth studio album Good to Be Bad was released in 2008, reaching number 7 in the UK and number 62 in the US. [3] [6] In 2011, the band reached number 33 with Forevermore and number 81 with Live at Donington 1990 , in 2013 they reached number 67 with Made in Japan , and in 2015 they reached number 18 with The Purple Album .

Widely referred to as "The Boss" by the media, Springsteen has sold over 150 million records worldwide, listing him among the best-selling music artists in history. Billboard ranked him as the 24th Greatest Artist of all time. According to Recording Industry Association of America, he has sold 65.5 million albums in the United States, making him the 7th best-selling male soloist of all time.

The Irish rock band U2 has released 15 studio albums, one live album, three compilation albums, 84 singles, and nine extended plays (EPs). The band formed at Mount Temple Comprehensive School in 1976 as teenagers. In 1979, the group issued their first release, the EP U2-3, which sold well in Ireland. The following year, the group signed to Island Records and released their debut album, Boy. It reached number 52 in the UK and number 63 in the US. They followed it up with the release of October (1981) and War (1983). War was a commercial success, becoming the band's first number-one album in the UK while reaching number 12 in the US. The album yielded the singles "Two Hearts Beat As One", "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "New Year's Day", the latter two have since become among the band's most popular songs. On the subsequent War Tour, the group recorded the live album Under a Blood Red Sky and concert film U2 Live at Red Rocks, both of which sold well and helped establish them globally as a live act.
Restless Heart is the ninth studio album by English hard rock band Whitesnake, released by EMI on 26 March 1997 in Japan and 26 May in Europe. It was produced by the band's vocalist David Coverdale and originally conceived as a solo album. However, EMI pressured him into releasing the record under the moniker "David Coverdale & Whitesnake". Musically Restless Heart features a more subdued sound compared to Whitesnake's previous two albums. It is also the only full-length Whitesnake studio album to feature guitarist Adrian Vandenberg throughout, despite having been a member of the group since 1987.
"Hard to Say I'm Sorry" is a 1982 power ballad by the group Chicago. It was written by bassist Peter Cetera, who also sang the lead vocals on the track, and producer David Foster.

It was their first top 50 hit since "No Tell Lover" in 1978 and it spent twelve weeks in the top 5 of the Billboard Hot 100. The single was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in September of the same year. Songwriter Cetera, a member of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), won an ASCAP Pop Music Award for the song in the category, Most Performed Songs.

Oasis had 22 consecutive UK top 10 hits between 1994 and 2008. Oasis was formed in 1991 by vocalist Liam Gallagher, guitarist Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs, bassist Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan and drummer Tony McCarroll – they were later joined by guitarist and songwriter Noel Gallagher.
