From his early punk days in London to his explosion on the world stage that would lead to him becoming an icon, Adam Ant’s musical career spans the course of nine albums and 22 chart-topping singles worldwide. At one point, Adam had eight singles in the UK Top 40 in one week.
His 1979 debut album, Dirk Wears White Sox, was the first number one album in the UK Independent Albums Chart.

The Kings of the Wild Frontier album produced three UK chart-topping singles, “Dog Eat Dog” #4, “Antmusic” #2, and “Kings of the Wild Frontier” #2 — and it won Adam a Brit Award for Best New Artist.
On its day of release, the smash hit single “Stand and Deliver” went straight to #1, and remained at the top spot in the UK singles chart for five weeks, earning Adam two prestigious Ivor Novello Awards for Best Songwriter of the Year and Best British Record.
