About The Record:
After almost two years of initial commercial failure for Eurythmics, Sweet Dreams are Made of This became a commercial breakthrough for the duo on both sides of the Atlantic. The title track became particularly popular and it remains one of Eurythmics' most recognizable songs (No. 1, Hot 100), and its music video, popular on MTV, is memorable for Annie Lennox's gender-bending imagery. In the wake of this success, the single Love Is a Stranger, previously a flop, was re-released and became a hit as well (No. 26, Hot 100). It too was accompanied by a striking video, which featured Lennox dressed both as a man and a woman. The album peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard Album chart.
