INXS
INXS
Sydney, AUpop, rock
3.1bn all-time streams (7 Jan '26)
INXS hailed from the pubs of Australia, which is part of the reason the band never comfortably fit in with new wave.
Even when they branched out into synth pop on their early recordings, they were underpinned by a hard, Stonesy beat and the Jagger-esque strut of lead singer Michael Hutchence.
