It was the first album to sell more than a million copies on CD and became the band’s most commercially successful album. Featuring the singles ‘So Far Away’, ‘Money For Nothing’, ‘Walk Of Life’, ‘Brothers In Arms’ and ‘Your Latest Trick’, the album spent 14 consecutive weeks at number one in the UK album charts and is the eighth best-selling album in the history of the UK charts. It was honoured with the Grammy Award for Best Non-Classical Album and the BRIT Award for Best British Album, among others.

Formed in 1977 – Dire Straits, led by the incomparable Mark Knopfler, were one of the greatest groups of the late 20th Century. When they first appeared on the London live circuit, their timeless music, faultless musicianship and memorable songs connected with music lovers. This was at a time when much of the music scene was consumed by punk and new wave.

“Brothers in Arms brought the atmospheric, jazz-rock inclinations of Love Over Gold into a pop setting, resulting in a surprise international best-seller. Of course, the success of Brothers in Arms was helped considerably by the clever computer-animated video for “Money for Nothing,” a sardonic attack on MTV. But what kept the record selling was Mark Knopfler’s increased sense of pop songcraft — “Money for Nothing” had an indelible guitar riff, “Walk of Life” is a catchy up-tempo boogie variation on “Sultans of Swing,” and the melodies of the bluesy “So Far Away” and the down-tempo, Everly Brothers-style “Why Worry” were wistful and lovely. Dire Straits had never been so concise or pop-oriented, and it wore well on them. Though they couldn’t maintain that consistency through the rest of the album — only the jazzy “Your Latest Trick” and the flinty “Ride Across the River” make an impact — Brothers in Arms remains one of their most focused and accomplished albums, and in its succinct pop sense, it’s distinctive within their catalog.” (Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AMG)
