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. ==Track listing== # "[[Move in My Direction]]" – 3:20 # "[[Look on the Floor (Hypnotic Tango)]]" – 3:26 # "Waterfall" – 4:18 # "Frequency" – 3:30 # "Feel for You" – 3:28 # "Don't Step on My Groove" – 3:06 # "Middle of Nowhere" – 3:46 # "I Love the Way" – 4:18 # "Lovebite" – 3:32 # "Rules of Attraction" – 3:16 # "Your Love Is Like a Drug" – 4:40 # "[[Venus (Shocking Blue song)|Venus]]" ([[Marc Almond]]'s Hi-NRG Showgirls Mix) – 6:04 # "[[Really Saying Something]]" ([[Solasso]] Bootleg mix) – 5:58 == Charts == {| class="wikitable" !align="left"|Chart (2006) !align="left"|Peak<br>position |- |align="left"|[[UK Albums Chart]] |align="center"|169 |- |align="left"|[[United States of America|U.S.]] [[Top Electronic Albums]] |align="center"|21 |- |} {{Bananarama}} [[Category:2005 albums]] [[Category:2006 albums]] [[Category:Bananarama albums]] [[Category:Pop albums]] [[it:Drama (Bananarama)]]
