Although the group had success in the British charts, they found their greatest success in the United States. The band’s single, “System Addict”, reached number six on the Billboard Hot 100 in the 1980s, and the album Fivestar: The Album is still a classic in the UK. In addition, several of the band’s singles were re-released and sampled by many popular hip hop and R&B artists, including 50 Cent, Mobb Deep, and Aaliyah.

The group was also well known for their energetic performances and their use of unique dance moves. They brought a “streetwise” and “urban” style to the stage that was not often seen with other groups of the era. This unique style gave them a leg up in the music industry and helped them gain a larger following.
