Soul II Soul discography
Soul II Soul released their debut album Club Classics Vol. One in April 1989 and it peaked at number 1 on the UK Albums Chart. It peaked at number 14 on the
US Top 200 Album chart and earned a 2x platinum certification in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The album's top
singles, "Keep On Movin'" and "Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)", reached number one on the Billboard R&B chart and were certified platinum by the
RIAA. Second album, Vol. II: 1990 – A New Decade, was released in May 1990. Their subsequent releases after their debut album were not as successful in the
US, but their second release peaked at number 1 on the UK Albums chart. The first and second single, "Get a Life" and "A Dream's a Dream", charted in the top
ten on the UK Singles Chart.

The group's third album, Volume III Just Right , was released in April 1992 and reached number three on the UK Albums Chart. The lead single "Joy" reached
number 4 in the UK and the follow-up single "Move Me No Mountain" charted at number 31. In November 1993, a greatest hits compilation titled Volume IV
The Classic Singles 88–93 was released. After a three-year hiatus working on solo projects, the group reunited to record their fourth studio album, Volume V
Believe, released in July 1995. The album reached number thirteen in the UK. Two singles were released from the album: "Love Enuff" and "I Care". The first
two singles charted in top twenty in UK. A final studio album, Time for Change, was released in September 1997 following their split. As of 2016, they have sold
over ten million records worldwide.[1]
