Sweet

Sweet (known as The Sweet until 1974) is a British rock band formed in London, England, in 1968. Sweet first gained fame in the early 1970s thanks to a series of bubblegum singles, then—at their creative peak—they became part of the British glam rock movement; finally, they made their sound heavier and moved closer to a hard rock style. Sweet's albums did not become hits, but 11 of the band's singles entered the top ten of the UK Singles Chart; one of them, "Blockbuster" (1973), climbed to the top of the charts.
