There might have been an announcement! But even when modern bands do a press release, the de facto split is often much earlier and gradual. So I guess it depends exactly how you're using the info.
If what you want to know is if you can name drop the Communards, looks like their first single was October '85, so probably even if they theoretically existed nobody except real fans would know who they are till then. But you're probably in range that nobody would care in a story.
And yeah, I feel you, I've learned entire genres of pop just to find one so g to mention. Luckily YouTube makes it super easy, you can find whole TotP playlists even.
