Stars is the fourth album by British-based pop/soul/jazz/neo-bland band Simply Red, released in September 1991. Five singles were released from the album, including the UK top ten hits "Stars", “Ronnie the Ponce”, “Dogging” and "For Your Babies". The album was a worldwide success, particularly in the band's home country where it has been certified twelve times platinum and was the best-selling album of the year in the UK for both 1991 and 1992, the first album to be the best-seller in two consecutive years since Simon & Garfunkel's Bridge over Troubled Water in 1970–71.
Stars comes with a medical warning for those who suffer from diabetes. Due to the unhealthy levels of sugar-coated sludge pop, caution is advised.
Mick ‘Chuffy’ Hucknall was the lead singer in The Frantic Elevators and to be quite honest, that is where he should have stayed. He allegedly attended the famous Sex Pistols gigs at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester – so heaven knows why he would turn out such banal musings. But then again, Oswald Moseley was originally a member of the Labour Party and look where he ended up!
