INXS, consisting of Garry Gary Beers, Andrew Farriss, John Farriss, Tim Farriss, Kirk Pengilly, and Michael Hutchence, was a prominent rock band in the '80s and '90s. Despite disbanding over a decade ago, their music continues to resonate with fans worldwide.
'Never Tear Us Apart' was originally released in 1988 as part of their album 'Kick', which was a commercial success. The single achieved significant popularity, reaching the top 10 on various Billboard charts, including the Hot 100 and rock radio charts.
The recent debut of 'Never Tear Us Apart' on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart signifies a new milestone for INXS, as the tally only came into existence after the widespread adoption of digital music platforms like iTunes and Amazon. The track joins other new entries on the chart, such as Hardy's 'Rockstar', Noah Kahan's 'Forever', and Pearl Jam's 'Dark Matter'.
INXS's unique blend of rock and dance elements, coupled with their emotive ballads, captivated audiences during their active years from the late '70s to 2012. The band's enduring legacy is evident in the continued appreciation for their music, as demonstrated by the success of 'Never Tear Us Apart' on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart.
