Status Quo

Did you know that the band has sold over one hundred and eighteen millions of units world wide? Well, isn’t that interesting? Well, we are here to share some more of these fun-filled and interesting facts about Status Quo with you and here they are. These are things that you never knew about the band and we are disclosing them here exclusively for you.

Other than selling this huge number of units, the band has also been to the TV show in BBC, the “top of pops”. Guess how many times they have been there? Well no, not once nor thrice but a big hundred and six times, the biggest in all pop history! Also, they are the hottest of all rock bands except for maybe the rolling stones but after the Rolling Stones” they are undoubtedly the best.

In the year 1981, the band received the very prestigious Silver Clef Award for their outstanding performance in the rock genre. And in the next year they were the first ever contemporary band to play Royalty. This happened when they were at a charity show attended by the Prince of the United Kingdom himself.

There are also many other facts that I would really like to share but maybe I will not be able to. So, let me tell you the most striking ones among the many which struck me the time I came to know of these. For example in 1986 the band had played about three stage shows in a span of only twenty four hours which is like practically impossible. Leaving aside the fact that there are technical hazards and no time for preparation, the amazing thing is that all of these performances were occurring each in a different country.

But the most remarkable is the entrance of the ban din the Guinness book of world records due to their record of playing in four shows, within the country and that too within a time of only eleven hours and eleven minutes, the highest ever. Not only are they a band but also truly remarkable as individuals.
