[edit] Karma Chameleon

Somebody wrote that "Karma Chameleon sold over 1 million copies in the UK, becoming the highest selling and last platinum single of the 1980s (Human League's "Don't You Want Me" and Dexys Midnight Runners' "Come on Eileen" were the other two)". This is utter nonsense. It is true that Karma Chameleon did sell over 1 million copies, but it was not the highest selling single of the 1980s nor was it the last platinum single of that decade. Band Aid, Stevie Wonder, Wham, and two singles by Frankie Goes To Hollywood all sold more copies than Karma Chameleon and came out after it. There were also several other singles that sold over a million in the UK in the 80s (Jennifer Rush, New Order, Soft Cell, George Michael and Band Aid II). For a full list of million sellers in the UK, please refer to http://www.everyhit.co.uk/bestsellingsingles.html MassassiUK 22:01, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Katakana on the album cover

Does anyone find it relevant to mention that the cover art for this album features the katakana (Japanese syllable script) 'boi' to represent the English word 'boy'? I'm surprised that nothing turns up when I google search "Culture Club - Colour By Numbers - katakana - boi", as I would think that some people would be curious as to what those funny symbols on the cover mean. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CarelessTantrum (talk • contribs) 23:16, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
