The Carpenters were a vocal and instrumental duo,consisting of siblings Karen and Richard Carpenter.The Carpenters were the #1 selling American music act of the 1970s.[1] Though often referred to by the public as "The Carpenters",the duo's official name on authorized recordings and press materials is simply "Carpenters",without the definite article.[2] During a period in the 1970s when louder and wilder rock was in great demand,Richard and Karen produced a distinctively soft musical style that made them one of the best-selling music artists of all time.[3][4]
The Carpenters' melodic pop charted a record-breaking score of hit recordings on the American Top 40 and Adult Contemporary charts,becoming leading sellers in the soft rock,easy listening and adult contemporary genres.The Carpenters had three #1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and fifteen #1 hits on the Adult Contemporary Chart (see The Carpenters discography).In addition,they had twelve top 10 singles (including their #1 hits).To date,The Carpenters' album and single sales total more than 100 million units.[4]
