'''''Drama''''' is an [[album]] by [[United Kingdom|British]] [[girl group]] [[Bananarama]]. It is their ninth [[studio album]] (not including [[greatest hits album|hits collections]]), and the fourth album released by Bananarama as a [[duo]]. ''Drama'' features eleven newly recorded tracks, along with a [[remix]] of their 1986 smash hit "[[Venus (Shocking Blue song)|Venus]]" (done by [[Soft Cell]]'s [[Marc Almond]]) and a 2005 remix of 1983 "[[Really Saying Something]]", an underground [[white label|bootleg]] club hit produced by [[Solasso]].
''Drama'' is a comeback of sorts for Bananarama members [[Keren Woodward]] and [[Sara Dallin]] — first [[single (music)|single]] "[[Move in My Direction]]" debuted on the [[UK Singles Chart]] at Number 14, becoming their first [[UK Top 40]] hit since 1993. Second single, "[[Look on the Floor (Hypnotic Tango)]]", also hit the UK Top 40, and climbed to Number 2 on the [[United States of America|U.S.]] [[Hot Dance Club Play]] chart as an import, becoming Bananarama's biggest U.S. dancefloor hit since "Venus" two decades earlier.
The album mostly incorporates [[Dance-pop|pop]] and [[eurodance]] musical styles, with some [[synthpop]] elements. Released in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] in 2005, ''Drama'' charted at a lowly Number 169. It has since been released in the [[United States of America|United States]] (both in retail stores and as [[digital download]]s) in 2006. While the album performed well on [[Billboard]]'s [[Top Electronic Albums]] chart, peaking at Number 21, has not yet charted on the [[Billboard 200]], the U.S. Pop Albums chart.
