debut single named after the band

The debut single by German band Alphaville was ” Big in Japan “, named after the band. Coincidentally, Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s single ” Relax ” was knocked off the top of the German charts by the song in 1984. Frontman Marian Gold later said, “We never got to speak with him [Holly Johnson] but he must have wondered, ‘Who is this German group with a song named after my band?’”
