Over the course of the next five years The Beat released three studio albums I Just Can't Stop It, Wha'appen and Special Beat Service.

The Beat enjoyed a series of classic hit singles between 1979-1983 such as Mirror in the Bathroom, Best Friend, Can't Get Used to Losing You, Hands Off...She's Mine, Too Nice To Talk To, Drowning, Doors of your Heart, Save it for Later, I Confess, Stand Down Margaret and Twist and Crawl.
