Songs that I have danced in summer (R.E.M. - losing my religion)

They spent the entire decade of the 80s enjoying great popularity and prestige within some minority circuits, especially university ones. R.E.M. It was formed in Georgia, captained by Michael Stipe, and after a few very well positioned albums, the band already had an important place in music.

The truth is that it was not the song chosen as a single at first. The record company immediately noticed the appeal of the song, but the group's bassist, Mike Mills, initially disagreed with the choice of Losing my religion as the first single of what would be one of the best-selling albums.

The album Out of Time debuted at number 1 in the United States and returned to that position several weeks later. In addition, it won three Grammy Awards in 1992: one for best alternative music album, and two for the first single, Losing my religion (best song and best video). In 1991 alone the album sold around 4.5 million copies in the United States and proved that an alternative band like this could reach the general public without losing its integrity.
