You can barely leave your house without tripping over a statistic boasting girlband member but for Bananarama's Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward the achievements speak for themselves: more hits than the Spice girls, more album sales than Girls Aloud, two Band Aid appearances, an entry in the Guinness Book of Records as the biggest girl group surpassing the Supremes with more charting singles, all of which were international hits, four hitting the Billboard Top 10. It ain’t always what one does - sometimes it’s the way that one does it, and Bananarama are here today with a rather great new album for the same reason they formed 27 years ago: a singular talent for directing their own fate. It’s a career that’s seen them write for themselves, style themselves and even occasionally manage themselves, all adding up to a whopping 40 million record sales.
