The Shadows are a British pop group with a total of 69 UK hit charted singles: 35 as 'The Shadows' plus 34 as 'Cliff Richard and The Shadows', from the 1950s to the 2000s.
The Shadows were also very successful in the British EP charts that were compiled by several different publications during the 1960s based on sales statistics from a limited number of retailers around the country. Typically The Shadows and Cliff Richard & The Shadows each had 4 No.1 selling EPs.
According to British Hit Singles & Albums (19th edition), The Shadows are the third most successful UK charted hit-singles act, behind Elvis Presley and Cliff Richard.
The Shadows were pioneers of the four-member rock-group format (consisting of lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass guitar and drums) in the UK. They enjoyed a second wave revival spell of success and interest in their music from the late seventies until disbandment in 1990.
