Description

Annie Lennox has hand signed in blue ink the front cover of the Eurythmics 12 inch single “Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty-Four)”  “Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty-Four)” is a song performed by British pop duo Eurythmics. It was written by group members Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart for their album 1984 (For the Love of Big Brother), which served as the soundtrack to the film Nineteen Eighty-Four, an adaptation of thepolitical novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. The song was produced by Stewart. The single peaked at number four on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Eurythmics’ sixth song in a row to enter the Top 10. It was also a big hit throughout Europe and became one of the duo’s biggest selling singles in Australia. “Sexcrime” met with resistance on United States radio — its title and bleak lyrical content did not earn mainstream success. The music video (featuring a straightforward performance of the song by Lennox and Stewart) had limited rotation on MTV. It peaked at number 81 on the Billboard Hot 100, but was much more successful on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart, where it reached number two.
