They notched up ten [[UK top 40]] [[single (music)|singles]] with three top tens, and had a chart presence worldwide. The group's name comes from the [[Apollo program]] and the frequency of [[concert pitch]]โthe A [[Musical note|note]] at 440 [[Hertz|Hz]], often denoted as "[[A440 (pitch standard)|A440]]"โand the [[Sequential Circuits]] sampler/sequencer, the [[Sequential_Circuits_Studio_440|Studio 440]]. They changed the writing of their name from Apollo 440 to Apollo Four Forty in 1996, though they switched back for their latest album. To date, Apollo 440's remixes have included [[U2]], [[Sean Combs|P. Diddy]]/[[Jimmy Page]], [[Jean-Michel Jarre]] and [[Ennio Morricone]]. Among their Stealth Sonic Orchestra remixes are a series of [[Manic Street Preachers]] singles.
