The British rock/pop band achieved success with a string of hit singles during the late eighties and into the early nineties, and also had three successful solo albums and a Greatest Hits album.
China In Your Hand was a re-recorded version of the track on the band's debut album Bridge Of Spies, and after being released in October 1987, it spent five weeks at the top of the UK singles chart. The song was also #1 in several countries across Europe.
T'Pau's debut album Bridge Of Spies was also a best-seller. The follow-up album Rage made #4 in 1988 and a third album entitled The Promise reached #10 in 1991. The last commercial success for the band was in 1993 with the album Heart And Soul - The Very Best Of T'Pau which peaked at #35 in the UK album charts during 1993. After this, the hits dried up, although Carol Decker continues to perform at 80's concerts as a solo act using the name T'Pau.
