UB40 Claims They've Outperformed Oasis Without Recognition

UB40 has expressed their discontent over a lack of recognition despite their significant sales. While they have enjoyed successes, including the release of their popular covers album 'Labour of Love' in 1983, they feel that their contributions to music have been overlooked in comparison to bands like Madness and The Specials. Band member Robin Campbell noted the ongoing cultural appropriation debate is often criticized by those not achieving similar success. Tensions within the group have been exacerbated by the departure of founding member Ali Campbell, who cited management issues as his reason for leaving. Despite internal strife, the band continues to perform and hopes for greater acknowledgment of their achievements in the music industry.
