Heart
is an American rock band who first found success in Canada. Throughout
several lineup changes, the only two remaining members of the group are
sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson.
The group rose to fame in the 1970s with their music being influenced
by hard rock as well as folk music. After diminishing in popularity
for a couple of years in the early 80s, the band enjoyed a comeback in
1985, experiencing further successes with their power ballads and pop
hits into the 90s.Over their four-decade career, Heart has had chart successes with songs in genres ranging from hard rock and metal to folk rock. With Jupiter's Darling (2004) and Red Velvet Car (2010), Heart made a return to their hard rock/acoustic roots of the late 70s.
To date, Heart has sold over 30 million records worldwide, including over 22 million in album sales in the U.S. The group was ranked number 57 on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock". With Top 10 albums on the Billboard Album Chart in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2010s, Heart is among the most commercially enduring hard rock bands in history.
They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013.
