The band’s legacy is undeniable, with 9 studio albums, numerous EPs, remixes, and greatest hits under their belt. They have earned 6 top 20 albums and 13 top 20 singles in the UK. Their hit singles, including «Together in Electric Dreams», «Mirror Man», «(Keep Feeling) Fascination», «Tell Me When», «Human», and «Don’t You Want Me», which was the biggest selling single of 1981, have solidified their place in music history.

Not only have The Human League left an indelible mark on the music industry, but their influence can be heard in the work of other artists such as Pet Shop Boys, Ladytron, George Michael, and LCD Soundsystem.
