While The Killers are renowned for their live sets, it's not just down to their stage presence; their back catalogue ensures that each and every show is even better than the last.

To celebrate Brandon Flowers' 36th birthday, we invite you to look back at both his own solo, and The Killers' full UK chart histories, and be warned, they're full of hits!
