DESCRIPTION TRACK LIST
Formed originally in London in 1962 (as the Paladins) by schoolboys Francis Rossi and Alan Lancaster, after a number of personnel and name changes, they officially became Status Quo in 1967.
Beginning with ‘Pictures of Matchstick Men’ in 1968, they have had over 60 chart singles in the UK, more than any other band, with further hits including ‘Caroline’, ‘Down Down’, ‘Rain’, ‘Rockin’ All Over the World’, ‘Whatever You Want’ and ‘What You’re Proposing’. Twenty-two of these reached the Top 10 in the UK Singles Chart, while 57 reached the Top 40. They have released over 100 singles and 33 studio albums. Since reaching number five on the UK Albums Chart in 1972 with Piledriver, Status Quo have placed 29 consecutive studio albums on the UK charts, including 20 Top 10 studio albums. In 2012, they were announced as the tenth best-selling group of all time on the UK singles chart, with 7.2 million singles sales in their homeland alone. As of 2015, they were one of only 50 artists to have achieved more than 500 total weeks on the UK Albums Chart.
In 1970, they began operating as the classic four-piece, featuring Rossi, Lancaster, Rick Parfitt and John Coghlan, which saw huge success throughout their classic 1970s period.
