OMD have been credited as pioneers of the synth-pop genre. In 2006, the band reformed with Humphreys and McCluskey working on material closer in sound to their early output; "The Punishment of Luxury" (2017) was the group's seventh top 10 entry on the UK Albums Chart. They have also achieved 12 top 20 hits on the UK Singles Chart, as well as three top 20 hits on the US "Billboard" Hot 100. An influence on many later artists, OMD have sold over 40 million records worldwide.
