Bros followed up with single "Drop the Boy", which also peaked on the UK chart at number 2 and at number 1 in Ireland. They then released their debut album Push. The album went 4× platinum in the UK British Phonographic Industry, and 5x platinum in Ireland,, and reached number 4 in Australia.
Increasing success
Bros released several more tracks from the album, including a reissue of "I Owe U Nothing", which reached number 1 in the UK and several other countries. Push worldwide sales to date amount to over 10 million copies, and the album was reissued in 2013 by Cherry Pop records to mark 25 years since the original release.
Bros toured all over the UK with all concerts selling out extra dates were added due to the demand which meant Bros did 19 consecutive nights at Wembley alone, and to date Bros are still the youngest group in history to play at Wembley.
Craig Logan left the band in early 1989, due to several bouts of illness, including ME, and the fact he could no longer take the pressure of stardom. He appeared on the BBC1 television programme Wogan discussing why he had left the band. Logan later took legal action against the management of Bros over unpaid royalties. Matt Goss and Luke Goss continued touring as a duo.
Bros also released two videos. The first, "Push Live Tour", was released on VHS and was recorded at the Hammersmith Apollo. The Video out-sold the best selling Video at the time, Making Michael Jackson's Thriller. Their Second Video was "Bros Push Over". This was a collection of hit single Videos taken from their Push album, and gave the Goss brothers and Bros fans some closure from the departure of Craig Logan.
During this period of fame Bros had over 130,000 fans turn up at HMV Oxford Street, London when they went to do to an album signing. The London Metropolitan Police had to close off Oxford Street for up 6 hours due the amount of fans that had turned up to see their idols: Brosmania had been born. Bros also had over 6 million fans worldwide join their fan club known as the Bros Front. Bros are also the only group to have appeared in every issue of Smash Hits from 1988 -1990.
After a short break recovering from their Global Push tour, Bros went back to the recording studios and released their second album, The Time. It was released in 1989 and reached number 4 in the UK Albums Chart selling over 300,000 copies in the UK alone. They released several tracks from the album as singles, including "Too Much", "Chocolate Box", "Madly in Love", and "Sister". The Time was also a smash hit album right across Europe, Asia and Australia.
Bros did a one off concert known as "Bros in 2 Summer" which was seen by over 77,000 fans at Wembley Stadium and was one of the first concerts to be shown on Sky pay-per-view.
Bros then released their third and final album, Changing Faces, in 1991, before the band split up in 1992. They only released two tracks from the album, these being "Are You Mine", reaching number 12 in the UK and "Try", which got to number 27. The album was not highly publicised and entered the chart at number 18. Neither Matt nor Luke have ever officially said Bros was over but they stopped recording in 1991.
Bros achieved 11 top 40 singles and three top 20 albums in the United Kingdom and Europe.
