| As far as Cher goes, BBC reshows old episodes of Top Of The Pops and I was watching one from 1981. Meat and Cher were in the charts with Dead Ringer For Love. They showed the video but for some reason credited it to Meat only even though it was an obvious duet. For an early video it was quite good. I hear people talking about the Dead Ringer album being a flop but in the UK it was top ten like Bad For Good. Meat has only had one UK flop and that was Blind Before I Stop. Which stalled at number 28 in 1986. Even the most recent albums that didn't do much business in America were top ten in the UK. But yes.
