Never for Ever Never for Ever Never for Ever is the third studio album by English singer Kate Bush. Released in September 1980, it was Bush's first number 1 album and was also the first ever album by a British female solo artist to top the UK album chart, as well as being the first album by any female solo artist to enter the chart at number 1. It has since been certified Gold by the BPI. It features the UK Top 20 singles "Breathing", "Army Dreamers" and "Babooshka", the latter being one of Bush's biggest hits. Bush co-produced the album with Jon
Spirit (Leona Lewis album) and double-platinum respectively. It was certified four-times platinum by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry for sales of more than four million copies in Europe. In the US, "Spirit" debuted at number one on the "Billboard" 200, selling 208,607 copies in its first week, which made Lewis the first British solo artist to top the chart with a debut album, and the first British female to hit number one with an album in over twenty years when Sade Adu topped the chart in February 1986 with "Promise". As of 30 June 2008 the album has been certified platinum. The
