Scottish recording artist [[Jimmy Somerville]] has entered the [[music industry]] as the [[lead vocalist|frontman]] of the [[synth-pop]] act, known as [[Bronski Beat]]. Alongside, he would score an early international success with a series of [[chart hit|top-ten hits]], such as "[[Smalltown Boy]]", "[[Why? (Bronski Beat song)|Why?]]" and "[[I Feel Love#Bronski Beat version|I Feel Love Medley]]"; all taken from the [[trio (music)|trio's]] debut album ''[[The Age of Consent (album)|The Age of Consent]]'' (1984), as well the remix equivalent ''[[Hundreds & Thousands]]'' (1985).

Scottish recording artist [[Jimmy Somerville]] has entered the [[music industry]] as the [[lead vocalist|frontman]] of the [[synth-pop]] act, known as [[Bronski Beat]]. Alongside, he would score an early international success with a series of [[chart hit|top-ten hits]], such as "[[Smalltown Boy]]", "[[Why? (Bronski Beat song)|Why?]]" and "[[I Feel Love#Bronski Beat version|I Feel Love Medley]]"; all taken from the [[trio (music)|trio's]] debut album, ''[[The Age of Consent (album)|The Age of Consent]]'' (1984), as well the remix equivalent, ''[[Hundreds & Thousands]]'' (1985). A similar status enjoyed the follow-up hit singles: "[[Don't Leave Me This Way#The Communards version|Don't Leave Me This Way]]", "[[So Cold the Night]]" and "[[Never Can Say Goodbye#The Communards version|Never Can Say Goodbye]]"; these though, were recorded for the eponymous set of [[The Communards|his later duo]] ''[[Communards (album)|Communards]]'' (1986), or its ''[[Red (The Communards album)|Red]]'' successor (1987) yet. The singer's own full-length debut would see its eventual results at the very end of [[1980s in music|the 1980s]], marking the ending of his former bands' years, or rather the beginning of his [[solo (music)|solo era]] since. |

Until now, Somerville has released nine [[album|studio albums]]; mostly on [[London Recordings]], the latters through various [[independent record label|independent labels]]. One [[concept album|conceptual work]] has initially been [[self-publishing|published by himself]], for a change. In addition to three [[remix album|remixed collections]], five [[live album]]s and ten [[compilation album|retrospective compilations]], two of which are [[double album|double sets]], he has also delivered four [[extended play]]s (EP); these more or less self-published again. His singles [[discography]] counts to thirty-nine [[single (music)|physical releases]]—excluding four [[promotional recording|promotional-only]]—fifteen [[music download|digital]] and over sixty [[guest appearance|other appearances]]; regardless of [[recording format|their format]]. Apart from that, he has been included on three video albums, two video EPs, and has made thirty-five [[music videos]]; with three further being "captured" in just vocally. |

His principal debut arrived on 27 November 1989 |
His principal debut arrived on 27 November 1989 under title ''[[Read My Lips (Jimmy Somerville album)|Read My Lips]]''. The outcome spawned two top-ten compositions, namely "[[Comment te dire adieu#Jimmy Somerville version|Comment te dire adieu]]", performed as a [[duet]] with [[June Miles-Kingston]], and "[[You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)#Jimmy Somerville version|You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)]]", another [[cover version|revival]]. While the [[lead single|lead cover]] went on to be certified [[Music recording certification|Silver]] by the [[SNEP|Syndicat national de l'édition phonographique]] (SNEP), the album itself Gold by the SNEP and the [[British Phonographic Industry]] (BPI); breaking into the top-forty of the [[record chart|music charts]] in France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom. The [[Read My Lips (Enough Is Enough)|titular track]], written solely by musician, received a short-running but decent response on a single of its own. |

The singer's second studio effort, ''[[Dare to Love]]'', was launched on 12 June 1995. Despite its favorable reviews, the album somewhat failed to match the sales of its predecessors.

Among those were "Dark Sky", "Lay Down" and "Something to Live for". On 14 June 1999, his third solo album came, backed up in the U.S. later with a remix companion, ''Root Beer'' (2000). Nevertheless, unlike its supporting cuts, ''[[Manage the Damage]]'' suffered from a short-lived potential in general, and the label parted ways with their protégé. Shortly though, his rendition of "[[Can't Take My Eyes Off You#Other cover versions|Can't Take My Eyes Off You]]" appeared on the [[soundtrack album|spare soundtrack]] to the TV series ''[[Queer as Folk (British TV series)|Queer as Folk]]'' (2000), roofed by [[Almighty Records]]. In March 2001, the song resulted in his first chart entry in almost a decade in France. <!--Soon after, the singer's former major label designed his new career-spanning compilation, ''[[The Very Best Of (Jimmy Somerville album)|The Very Best Of]]'' (2001), issued worldwide under [[Warner Strategic Marketing|a subdivision]] of [[Warner Music Group|WMG]]. This time, the album progressed into the top-forties, as well obtained Gold from the BPI.--> |

Following another four-year hiatus, Somerville—no longer part of the [[popular culture|pop culture]] that brought him once a global recognition—pursued local options instead. Upon signing to Jinx Musix, he would present several further singles, particularly towards the German audience, and sealed them by introducing his forth studio set. These included "It's So Good", "Come On" and the only charting "[[Ain't No Mountain High Enough#Other notable covers|Ain't No Mountain High Enough]]".

For the next years to come, much of his own output was showcased to his [[fandom|fanbase]], primarily, in a [[digital audio|virtual format]]. Apart from an [[acoustic music|acoustic collection]] of cover versions named ''Suddenly Last Summer'' (2009), artist also gradually published a trilogy of [[electronic music|electronic]] EPs, such as ''Bright Thing'' (2010), ''Momentum'' (2011) and ''Solent'' (2012); all marketed via [[The Orchard (company)|The Orchard]] [[digital distribution|online music distribution]]. Many of the compositions featured on those, would serve instrumental for the singer's most recent album entitled ''[[Homage (Jimmy Somerville album)|Homage]]'', which was co-released on 6 March 2015 by German Membran and British [[Strike Force Entertainment]] to positive feedback from music critics, yet again moderate sales. |

Scottish recording artist Jimmy Somerville has entered the music industry as the frontman of the synth-pop act, known as Bronski Beat. Alongside, he would score an early international success with a series of top-ten hits, such as "Smalltown Boy", "Why?" and "I Feel Love Medley"; all taken from the trio's debut album, The Age of Consent (1984), as well the remix equivalent, Hundreds & Thousands (1985). A similar status enjoyed the follow-up hit singles: "Don't Leave Me This Way", "So Cold the Night" and "Never Can Say Goodbye"; these though, were recorded for the eponymous set of his later duo Communards (1986), or its Red successor (1987) yet. The singer's own full-length debut would see its eventual results at the very end of the 1980s, marking the ending of his former bands' years, or rather the beginning of his solo era since.
Until now, Somerville has released nine studio albums; mostly on London Recordings, the latters through various independent labels. One conceptual work has initially been published by himself, for a change. In addition to three remixed collections, five live albums and ten retrospective compilations, two of which are double sets, he has also delivered four extended plays (EP); these more or less self-published again. His singles discography counts to thirty-nine physical releases—excluding four promotional-only—fifteen digital and over sixty other appearances; regardless of their format. Apart from that, he has been included on three video albums, two video EPs, and has made thirty-five music videos; with three further being "captured" in just vocally.
His principal debut arrived on 27 November 1989 under title Read My Lips. The outcome spawned two top-ten compositions, namely "Comment te dire adieu", performed as a duet with June Miles-Kingston, and "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)", another revival. While the lead cover went on to be certified Silver by the Syndicat national de l'édition phonographique (SNEP), the album itself Gold by the SNEP and the British Phonographic Industry (BPI); breaking into the top-forty of the music charts in France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom. The titular track, written solely by musician, received a short-running but decent response on a single of its own.
By the time The Singles Collection 1984/1990 was issued for the next Christmas season, the combining sales of all his records were estimated by Music & Media for more than six million units,[1] with France becoming the singer's most successful territory then.[2] Upon its release on 12 November 1990, his first best-of set continued selling streak across the European continent, earning both Platinum and Gold certifications; each twice and respectively. The first two from the French SNEP and the Swiss IFPI, the latters from the Dutch NVPI and the German BVMI. Having reached the additional top-ten spots in Austria, Belgium, Ireland and the UK, the compilation recycled for its opening single also one of the Bee Gees' songs, "To Love Somebody", and likewise the remaining "Run from Love", previously not promoted commercially.
Even though, the management had expected their artist publishing a new material already the upcoming year,[1] Somerville semi-retired from the business for four years. His one-off projects involved him only in recording themed tunes for the feature film Orlando (1992), or a short called The Attendant (1993).[3] Simultaneously, he contributed for a charitable EP of duets, Gimme Shelter (1993).
The singer's second studio effort, Dare to Love, was launched on 12 June 1995. Despite its favorable reviews, the album somewhat failed to match the sales of its predecessors. Having missed the top-forty, except for the UK, it ultimately became his closing release on London Recordings. The lead-off singles, however, they did make an impact, either in the dance or airplay field. While "Heartbeat" received club play on both sides of the Atlantic, topping the US Dance eventually, "Hurt So Good" cracked into the mainstream top-ten in his homeland, and turned into a radio favorite in England, too. Besides in July 1997, Somerville experienced a late comeback, after "Safe in These Arms" had been reproduced for the dancefloor via German-based SPV GmbH. Altered as "Safe", it climbed to the number-one on the Spanish singles chart,[4] and gained him club following in the United States.
Subsequently, musician managed to secure a record deal with Gut Records,[5] and to release a number of singles, some of which would garner attention within their genre. Among those were "Dark Sky", "Lay Down" and "Something to Live for". On 14 June 1999, his third solo album came, backed up in the U.S. later with a remix companion, Root Beer (2000). Nevertheless, unlike its supporting cuts, Manage the Damage suffered from a short-lived potential in general, and the label parted ways with their protégé. Shortly though, his rendition of "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" appeared on the spare soundtrack to the TV series Queer as Folk (2000), roofed by Almighty Records. In March 2001, the song resulted in his first chart entry in almost a decade in France.
Following another four-year hiatus, Somerville—no longer part of the pop culture that brought him once a global recognition—pursued local options instead. Upon signing to Jinx Musix, he would present several further singles, particularly towards the German audience, and sealed them by introducing his forth studio set. These included "It's So Good", "Come On" and the only charting "Ain't No Mountain High Enough". Distributed through BMG in few other countries, Home Again was issued on 8 November 2004 to friendly reviews, but a limited commercial performance.
For the next years to come, much of his own output was showcased to his fanbase, primarily, in a virtual format. Apart from an acoustic collection of cover versions named Suddenly Last Summer (2009), artist also gradually published a trilogy of electronic EPs, such as Bright Thing (2010), Momentum (2011) and Solent (2012); all marketed via The Orchard online music distribution. Many of the compositions featured on those, would serve instrumental for the singer's most recent album entitled Homage, which was co-released on 6 March 2015 by German Membran and British Strike Force Entertainment to positive feedback from music critics, yet again moderate sales.

Notes
[edit]- ^ a b c d e f g h i j Since early recordings were released by Jimmy Somerville as the frontman of Bronski Beat or the Communards, many of these were later credited to either of the parties or each, respectively, while some others were often attributed to only act, even though they would feature contributions by the fellow one too. Likewise, many of his sales figures combine both the number of sale of his own solo records and those sold with his former groups in common. For that reason as well to preserve the singer's discography in a chronological order, the list includes his entire body of work, regardless of its original release, reissue and/or rework.
- ^ According to the promotional material, published in Music & Media on 18 November 1989, one of the Somerville's earlier recordings had allegedly received a gold certification also in Belgium.[6] The source, however, does neither specify any further details about the award, nor the work in dispute.
- ^ a b Unless stated otherwise, sales denotes pure figures without equivalent units, such as streaming and/or digital download.
- ^ a b As of December 2017, Somerville sold 1,873,300 recordings in the country himself, including 854,300 of albums and 1,019,000 of singles, respectively, while additional 1,825,500 copies in common with the Communards[10]—making it in total almost 3,7 million (excluding his sales with Bronski Beat yet.[11])
- ^ a b c d The official website for the New Zealand music charts—nztop40.co.nz—as well the Dutch record association NVPI that certifies sales of recordings in the country, both archive the artist's name misspelled as "Jimmy Sommerville".
- ^ Based on the liner notes of a Canadian promotional cassette tape, issued in 1991, "[Somerville] has already sold over 160,000 albums in Canada."[26] Since his only charting album in the region was The Age of Consent, it is assumed that the figure relates to the mentioned release. Officially, only 100,000 units were certified by now.[20]
- ^ In the U.S., Dare to Love charted on the Heatseekers Albums, peaking at number 36 in December 1995.[43]
- ^ In the States, Manage the Damage charted only on the US CMJ Top 200 Albums, peaking at number 191 in January 2000.[45] (On the magazine's Radio 200 ADDS list, the title was earlier promoted at number 9.)[46]
- ^ Home Again was not released in North America, and therefore it was ineligible to enter the local music charts.
- ^ a b c d All self-published download releases, such as Suddenly Last Summer (2009), Bright Thing (2010), Momentum (2011) and Solent (2012), were originally distributed by the Orchard company.
- ^ Basic, twelve track digital releases—both self-published—featured also one live or remixed bonus of "Motherless Child"; the latter exclusively via Amazon. A year later, fourteen track limited CD was co-issued by SFE/Cherry Red, along with an extra DVD. Apart from alternate versions of two songs, the digipak included also one new song ("By Your Side") and the live Amazon cut. While a non-DVD edition which followed on SFE in 2020, featured in addition two previously unreleased works ("The Gal From Joe's" and "Bent in the Bush"), as well as live ("I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself"), alternate ("By Your Side") or remixed ("People Are Strange") material. Its vinyl equivalent was reduced to fourteen track release.
- ^ While the French InfoDisc reports peak position at 54,[9] the chartsinfrance.net at number 60.[50]
- ^ Homage didn't enter the British Albums Chart, it did however charted among the UK Indie Records, peaking at number 41.[51]
- ^ In the U.S., Homage charted on the Top Dance/Electronic Albums, peaking upon its release at number 25.[52]
- ^ Limited ten track release, featuring also four songs by Bronski Beat and three others by Somerville. Distributed solely through the newspapers HLN, it was hence ineligible to chart either in Belgium.
- ^ The Platinum Collection charted in Ireland, peaking in September 2006 at number 53.[72]
- ^ The chart entry from March 2006. The source does not specify though, whether the French peak position relates to the standard or the double disc edition, released in October 2002.[9]
- ^ The album would make an entry in Italy in April 2022, after the Collector's Edition of The Very Best Of set reached number 40 on the local iTunes Albums Chart. (The enhanced version would also chart on other equivalents of the digital chart, such as in the UK, Germany and France; none of these however with more significant performance than upon the album's original release. The exceptions were Brazilian and Spanish iTunes charts, where the special version scored at numbers 17 and 43, respectively.)[79]
- ^ The Essentials was designed for North America, becoming ineligible to chart elsewhere. The compilation did not chart in the States either.
- ^ For a Friend: The Best Of did not enter the official UK Top 100 Albums Chart, reaching only at number 160 in January 2012,[84] but one week later it peaked at number 14 on the UK component Indie Chart.[85]
- ^ Dance & Desire: Rarities & Videos entered only the UK Top 50 Independent Albums Chart, debuting at number 32 upon its release.[87]
- ^ French InfoDisc reports different peak positions:[95] "Smalltown Boy" #3 | "Why?" #5 | "I Feel Love" #39 | "You Are My World" #8 | "Disenchanted" #22 | "Don't Leave Me This Way" #3 | "So Cold the Night" #24 | "Tomorrow" #42 | "Never Can Say Goodbye" #6 | "There's More to Love" #84 | "Do They Know It's Christmas?" #66 | "Comment te dire adieu" #4 | "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" #1 | "Read My Lips (Enough Is Enough)" #41 | "To Love Somebody" #12 | "Run from Love" #46 | "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" #91.
- ^ Only four singles made it into the US Hot 100: "Smalltown Boy" (#48 in March 1985), "Don't Leave Me This Way" (#40 in March 1987), "Never Can Say Goodbye" (#51 in February 1988) and "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) (#87 in April 1990).[96] For that reason, the component dance chart has been supplied instead as the one with the most frequent entries for his records in the States.
- ^ a b c d "Smalltown Boy" was reissued on several separate occasions—with the first becoming a 1991 remix, credited primarily to Somerville instead. The Bronski Beat own remixed versions would follow every ten years—in 1994, 2004 and in 2013,—while the singer's brand new studio recording of the work was made in 2014, along with a promotional video.
- ^ Claimed for digital sale.[97]
- ^ a b Initially, the single was re-released in England in 2000 with Somerville as the lead artist. In 2006, the composition was reproduced under name "Tell Me Why" by Swedish DJ duo Supermode, who would interpolate its lyrics into the music sampled from the singer's signature song ("Smalltown Boy"). Apart from that, "Why" was also reworked as "You & Me" in 2007 by Scottish Blue Ray, this time containing samples of a Yazoo's song ("Situation") and with Somerville featured as a guest.
- ^ a b "I Feel Love Medley" and "Disenchanted" charted in the U.S. only on the Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales, peaking at number 50 and number 43,[100] respectively.
- ^ "You Are My World" was commercially promoted twice. The original 1985 release charted only in Ireland, England,[17] Italy,[13] the Eurochart and France.[94] The 1987 reissue would make additional re-entries in the UK, Ireland, as well the European chart, while for the first time in Flemish Belgium, Holland[14] and Germany.[12] In order to avoid multiple records, the listed peak positions include both official releases, regardless of the different years.
- ^ On some editions, the "Don't Leave Me This Way" single was credited to The Communards only.
- ^ "So Cold the Night" was simultaneously released as a double A-side single in the UK, altogether with "The Multimix".
- ^ "Hold on Tight" single was released strictly on 7" vinyl in Philippines, and therefore was not eligible to potentially chart also in other countries.
- ^ A reissue of "Do They Know It's Christmas?" re-charted in the UK at number 82 in December 2007, side by side the original version of the song as a double A-side single[107]
- ^ In April 2022, "Fruit" debuted on the Spanish iTunes Singles Chart at number 30.[109]
- ^ Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Billboard suspended the chart and has not restored it since. Any singles released after 28 March 2020, were therefore ineligible to appear on the US Dance.
- ^ In May 2022, "Hideous" debuted on the Spanish iTunes Singles Chart at number 98.[109]
- ^ In France, "Hideous" debuted on the local iTunes Singles Chart at number 40 in May 2023.[109]
- ^ a b c Singles "Comment te dire adieu" (#122),[110] "To Love Somebody (#146)[111] and EP "Gimme Shelter" (#214),[112] all did stall out of the Top 100 Singles chart in Australia.
- ^ "Run from Love" was first released in September 1985 as a promotional single, in support of the Bronski Beat's conceptual album Hundreds & Thousands. Upon its 1990 official release for The Singles Collection 1984/1990, the composition has been since credited to Somerville.
- ^ EP "Gimme Shelter" charted on the singles charts as a collective work of various artists to support the Shelter's 'Putting Our House in Order' charity project. Each of involved though, recorded their own cover of the Rolling Stone's song as a duet with another act, depending on a format—pop, rock, dance or alternative. The Somerville's pop remake with Voice of the Beehive, was also promoted with a music video.
- ^ Originally known under name "Safe in These Arms", it topped the Spanish chart.[4]
- ^ In July 1997, "Dark Sky" entered the UK Music Week Club Chart at number 43; its peak.[113]
- ^ "Lay Down" (#116) did not enter the official UK Top 100 Singles Chart,[114] however in May 1999, it debuted on the UK Club Chart Top 40 at number 32, as well on the component Pop Top 20 as number 8.[115] The following month, it also entered the UK Indie Chart at number 23.[116]
- ^ "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" was released as a dual single in England, side by side a remixed reissue of "Why?".[117] Nevertheless, it did not make it into the local Top 100 Singles Chart (stalling in September 2000 at #117).[118]

the night really came to life when Jimmy Somerville turned the venue into a big gay disco with the four songs you'd want to hear from him. In case you were wondering what those would be, they're You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real), Why?, Don't Leave Me This Way and the highlight of the whole evening, a wildly emotional Smalltown Boy with Jimmy accompanied solely by the pianist.
