==History== Formed in England's capital city, Londonbeat's career took off with the song "There's a Beat Going On", from their 1988 debut album, Speak. The song peaked on the UK chart at number 88. The track "9 A.M (The Comfort Zone)", from the same record, subsequently became a modest success in the UK, rising to number 19. Londonbeat are best known for their 1990 single "I've Been Thinking About You", from their second album, In the Blood, released the same year. After capturing the number 2 spot in the UK in September 1990, the song hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and the Hot Dance Music/Club Play charts in February 1991. Their follow-up single, "A Better Love", became a Billboard Top-20 hit.
