Texas

Texas are a Scottish rock band from Glasgow, founded in 1986 by Johnny McElhone, Ally McErlaine, and Sharleen Spiteri. They made their performing debut in March 1988 at the University of Dundee, and released their debut album Southside in 1989, along with their debut single "I Don't Want a Lover". Southside entered at number three on the UK Albums Chart and number 88 on the Billboard 200 album chart in the United States, and sold over two million copies worldwide. Despite the success of Southside, the follow-up albums Mothers Heaven (1991) and Ricks Road (1993) were less successful, but achieved moderate success on various European markets. Their fourth album, White on Blonde (1997), debuted atop the albums charts in their native Scotland and in the United Kingdom and became their biggest seller, being certified six times platinum in the United Kingdom. Follow up album The Hush (1999) achieved similar commercial success which continued in 2000 with the release of The Greatest Hits. They released a further two studio albums, Careful What You Wish For (2003), and Red Book (2005), before beginning an "indefinite hiatus" in 2005. During their hiatus, lead singer, Sharleen Spiteri, launched a solo career, releasing her debut solo album, Melody, in 2008. Their hiatus ended in 2013 with the release of their eighth album, The Conversation. In February 2017, they released "Let's Work It Out" as the lead single from their ninth album, Jump on Board (2017), which peaked within the top ten of the album charts in Belgium and France. Their tenth album, Hi (2021), became their highest-charting album in the UK since The Hush, debuting at number three on the official UK albums chart, number one on the UK independent albums chart, and entering at number one in their native Scotland. As of 2017, Texas' worldwide sales were 40 million records
