The Nolans were an Anglo-Irish girl group who formed in Blackpool in 1974 as the Nolan Sisters, before changing their name in 1980. From 1979 to 1982, the group had a run of hits, including "I'm in the Mood for Dancing", "Gotta Pull Myself Together", "Who's Gonna Rock You", "Attention to Me" and "Chemistry". They are one of the world's biggest selling girl groups. They were particularly successful in Japan, becoming the first European act to win the Tokyo Music Festival with "Sexy Music" in 1981, and won a Japan Record Award (Tokubetsu Kikaku Shō) in 1991. The group disbanded in 2005, re-forming in 2009 with only 4 of the original members. A "farewell tour" was planned for 2013 but was cancelled following the death of one member. A reality television show with the group was later launched, but no further albums or tours were announced, and a second member died in 2025.
