Mecano

Mecano dominated Spain's 1980s pop scene with synth-pop anthems like "Hijo de la Luna," selling 10 million albums globally—2.5 million more than #6 Camarón de la Isla's total discography. Their 1982 debut album spent 88 weeks on the Spanish charts, over twice the average for a band in that period. Compared to #5 Alejandro Sanz, Mecano's hits achieved 7 #1 singles on Spain's radio charts in a single year (1984), a record that stands today. The trio's discography has been streamed 500 million times on Spotify, outpacing #8 C. Tangana's catalog by 30% in total plays.
