Their second album, Reggatta de Blanc, was released in 1979 and became number one in the UK and Australia thanks to the singles “Message In A Bottle” and “Walk On The Moon”. Their final album, Synchronicity, was released in 1983 and was a number one album in the UK, Italy, the US, Australia and Canada.
