Rare card · No. 43718

"Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" is a song by the British synth-pop duo Eurythmics. It was released in January 1983 by RCA Records as the fourth and final single from their second album, Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) (1983). It was Eurythmics' breakthrough hit, establishing them worldwide. It reached number two on the UK singles chart in March 1983 and number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 six months later; it was the first Eurythmics single released in the US. With Annie Lennox appearing with orange cropped hair and wearing a man's business suit in the music video, which was directed by Chris Ashbrook, the BBC stated Lennox's "powerful androgynous look" was the music video that "broke the mould for female pop stars". Rolling Stone called the song "a synth-pop masterpiece that made Lennox and Dave Stewart MTV superstars". After the success, Eurythmics' previous single, "Love Is a Stranger", was rereleased and became a worldwide hit. On Rolling Stone's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time...
