DIRE STRAITS. "The Sultans of Swing" ..... Stylish English group first formed in 1977 led by guitar genius Mark Knopfler. They are best known for a string of highly successful albums including ; Dire Straits (1978) / Communique (1979) / Making Movies (1980) and then three consecutive No1s ; Love Over Gold (1982) / Brothers In Arms (1985) (which sold 30 million copies and was the first ever million selling CD) and On Every Street (1991). Dire Straits have spent over 1100 weeks on the UK albums chart (ranking fifth of all-time). The groups career spanned a combined total of 15 years. They originally split up in 1988, then reformed in 1991 and disbanded for good in 1995 (when Mark Knopfler launched his career full-time as a solo artist). There were several changes in personnel over both periods with Mark Knopfler and John Illsley, the only two constant original band-members throughout the whole time. To date they have sold an estimated 140 million albums worldwide .....
