Until 1990, they enjoyed a string of international hit singles, including "Everybody Wants To Rule The World", which topped the US charts and reached no. 2 the UK charts in 1985. Tensions between him and Orzabal prompted Smith to leave the band in 1991 while Roland Orzabal continued to work under the Tears for Fears name.
