John Foxx is best known as being the man Midge Ure replaced as front man in Ultravox. What perhaps isn't as well known is his singles chart career.
When he made his Top 40 debut at the start of 1980 with "Underpass", Ultravox were yet to have a Top 40 hit. They debuted the same week John Foxx entered the Top 40 with his 3rd Top 40 hit "Burning Car". Ultravox were at 39 whilst John Foxx was one place ahead at 38.
This was the final Top 40 hit for John Foxx which came over a year later. It's success was more or less on a par with his other hits as the highest he charted was 31 with his debut.
After a few singles that failed to make the Top 40, he left the music scene in 1985 but returned in 1997 and has been quite prolific since in terms of albums.
