Hi, I'm a Wikipedian since November 15, 2007.

I'm a Bananarama fan since I was younger. My Nana favourite single is "Venus".

Bananarama is a British female group of pop music. The band was founded in 1981 by Sarah Dallin, Keren Woodward and Siobhan Fahey. The name was a nod to Roxy Music song, Pyjamarama. In early 1988 Siobhan decided to leave the group. Keren and Sarah enlisted the services of an old pal, Jacquie O'Sullivan, for their first World Tour.

Then they had most chart entries in history, 10 Top UK singles chart and 3 US Top 10 hits, being honoured in the Guinnes Book of World Records as the most successful British girl group of all time. So they released their retrospective compilation "The Greatest Hits Collection". This album was a huge success on Britain, peaking at #3, and remained on UK albums chart for thirty-seven weeks. In 1989 a cover of The Beatles song, "Help!", was added.
