2001–2002 British pop group
the group
Hear'Say were a British pop group. They were created through the ITV reality TV show Popstars in February 2001, the first UK series of the international Popstars franchise. The group, who were signed to Polydor Records, originally consisted of Danny Foster, Myleene Klass, Kym Marsh, Suzanne Shaw, and Noel Sullivan. Hear'Say achieved instant fame, breaking chart records with their debut single "Pure and Simple" and the album Popstars. However, their second album failed to match this success. In January 2002, Marsh left Hear'Say due to conflicts with Klass and Sullivan. She was replaced by former Boom! member Johnny Shentall a month later. During a summer promotional tour, Hear'Say were constantly harassed by members of the public. The five unsuccessful finalists went on to form the group Liberty (later renamed Liberty X after a legal dispute). The programme documented Hear'Say recording and promoting their first single with the series ending on the night the single charted in the UK Singles Chart. Popstars became an instant success, taking in audiences of over 10 million viewers. In March 2001, Hear'Say released their first single, "Pure and Simple", a cover of a little known album track by Girl Thing. The song went straight to number one on the UK Singles Chart in March 2001, selling just under 550,000 copies. "Pure and Simple" was the fastest selling debut single at the time, as well as the fastest selling non charity single – a record beaten a year later by Pop Idol winner Will Young. With the release of their debut album Popstars, Hear'Say became the first act in UK chart history to simultaneously top the UK Singles Chart and UK Albums Chart with their debut releases. The group were invited to perform at the 80th birthday celebrations of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Hear'Say went on to present their own ITV show called Hear'Say It's Saturday, which featured performances, comedy sketches and celebrity guests. This followed on from a mini series named Meet the Popstars which was intended to allow the public to get to know the group and their music away from the talent show format. In August 2001, Hear'Say toured the United Kingdom. They initially announced five dates which quickly sold out, causing the band to schedule thirty more dates. However, the new dates struggled to sell out as hundreds of tickets remained unsold. The group also released a live DVD. Whilst on tour, the group began recording their second studio album, Everybody. In November 2001, just nine months after the release of their debut album, Hear'Say released Everybody. The album was preceded by a single of the same name. The single debuted at number four, while the album crept into the chart at number 24. and plans were made for an arena tour but these were later cancelled. A representative for Hear'Say denied the reports, stating: "Everybody who is involved with Hear'Say will be sitting down this week to discuss the future. Kym Marsh is still with the band." Auditions were held to find Marsh's replacement. The audition process was televised in segments of This Morning, an ITV daily morning show, mirroring the procedure during which the original members of Hear'Say were chosen. Johnny Shentall, husband of Steps singer Lisa Scott Lee, won the auditions, joining the group on 5 February 2002. Controversy erupted when it was found out that Shentall had previously been a member of short lived pop group Boom! and a back up dancer for Hear'Say. Media reports suggested that Polydor Records wanted the single to at least reach the UK Top 5. Following the disappointing sales of the single, it was thought that they would be dropped by the label, though no official word came from Polydor. Hear'Say split up on 1 October 2002, citing "abuse from the public" as the main reason. The group admitted to being a fad that had passed. ! style="width:2em;font size:90%;"| EUR

Hear'Say были британской поп-группой. Они были созданы в результате реалити-шоу Popstars на ITV в феврале 2001 года, первого британского сезона международной франшизы Popstars. Группа, подписанная на Polydor Records, первоначально состояла из Дэнни Фостера, Майлин Класс, Ким Марш, Сюзанн Шоу и Ноэля Салливана. Hear'Say мгновенно приобрели известность, побив рекорды продаж с дебютным синглом "Pure and Simple" и альбомом Popstars. Однако их второй альбом не повторил этот успех. В январе 2002 года Ким Марш покинула Hear'Say из-за конфликтов с Майлин Класс и Ноэлем Салливаном. Месяц спустя ее заменил Джонни Шенталл, бывший участник группы Boom!. Во время летнего промо-тура Hear'Say постоянно подвергались домогательствам со стороны публики. Пять финалистов, не прошедших отбор, сформировали группу Liberty (позже переименованную в Liberty X после судебного разбирательства). Программа задокументировала запись и продвижение первого сингла Hear'Say, завершившись в ночь, когда сингл вошел в чарт UK Singles Chart. Popstars мгновенно стал хитом, собрав аудиторию более 10 миллионов зрителей. В марте 2001 года Hear'Say выпустили свой первый сингл "Pure and Simple" – кавер-версию малоизвестного трека Girl Thing. Песня сразу же возглавила UK Singles Chart в марте 2001 года, продав почти 550 000 копий. "Pure and Simple" был самым быстро продаваемым дебютным синглом того времени, а также самым быстро продаваемым синглом, не связанным с благотворительностью, – рекорд, побитый годом позже победителем Pop Idol Уиллом Янгом. С выпуском дебютного альбома Popstars Hear'Say стали первым исполнителем в истории британских чартов, одновременно возглавившим UK Singles Chart и UK Albums Chart со своими дебютными релизами. Группу пригласили выступить на праздновании 80-летия принца Филиппа, герцога Эдинбургского. Hear'Say также представили собственное шоу на ITV под названием Hear'Say It's Saturday, в котором были выступления, комедийные скетчи и приглашенные знаменитости. Это последовало за мини-сериалом Meet the Popstars, который должен был позволить публике узнать группу и их музыку вне формата талант-шоу. В августе 2001 года Hear'Say отправились в тур по Великобритании. Первоначально было объявлено о пяти концертах, которые быстро были распроданы, что побудило группу запланировать еще тридцать концертов. Однако новые даты с трудом продавались, так как сотни билетов остались нераспроданными. Группа также выпустила концертный DVD. Во время тура группа начала записывать свой второй студийный альбом Everybody. В ноябре 2001 года, всего через девять месяцев после выхода их дебютного альбома, Hear'Say выпустили Everybody. Альбому предшествовал одноименный сингл. Сингл дебютировал на четвертом месте, а альбом поднялся до 24-й позиции в чарте. Были планы по проведению тура по аренам, но позже они были отменены. Представитель Hear'Say опроверг сообщения, заявив: "Все, кто связан с Hear'Say, на этой неделе встретятся, чтобы обсудить будущее. Ким Марш все еще в группе". Были проведены прослушивания для поиска замены Марш. Процесс прослушивания транслировался в сегментах ежедневного утреннего шоу ITV This Morning, повторяя процедуру, в ходе которой были выбраны первоначальные участники Hear'Say. Джонни Шенталл, муж певицы Steps Лизы Скотт Ли, выиграл прослушивание и присоединился к группе 5 февраля 2002 года. Возникла полемика, когда выяснилось, что Шенталл ранее был участником недолговечной поп-группы Boom! и бэк-вокалистом Hear'Say. По сообщениям СМИ, Polydor Records хотели, чтобы сингл по крайней мере достиг пятой строчки UK Top 5. После разочаровывающих продаж сингла предполагалось, что группа будет отстранена от сотрудничества с лейблом, хотя официального заявления от Polydor не последовало. Hear'Say распались 1 октября 2002 года, назвав "преследования со стороны общественности" основной причиной. Группа признала, что была мимолетным увлечением, которое прошло.

2001–2002 British pop group
the group
Hear'Say were a British pop group. They were created through the ITV reality TV show Popstars in February 2001, the first UK series of the international Popstars franchise. The group, who were signed to Polydor Records, originally consisted of Danny Foster, Myleene Klass, Kym Marsh, Suzanne Shaw, and Noel Sullivan. Hear'Say achieved instant fame, breaking chart records with their debut single "Pure and Simple" and the album Popstars. However, their second album failed to match this success. In January 2002, Marsh left Hear'Say due to conflicts with Klass and Sullivan. She was replaced by former Boom! member Johnny Shentall a month later. During a summer promotional tour, Hear'Say were constantly harassed by members of the public. The five unsuccessful finalists went on to form the group Liberty (later renamed Liberty X after a legal dispute). The programme documented Hear'Say recording and promoting their first single with the series ending on the night the single charted in the UK Singles Chart. Popstars became an instant success, taking in audiences of over 10 million viewers. In March 2001, Hear'Say released their first single, "Pure and Simple", a cover of a little known album track by Girl Thing. The song went straight to number one on the UK Singles Chart in March 2001, selling just under 550,000 copies. "Pure and Simple" was the fastest selling debut single at the time, as well as the fastest selling non charity single – a record beaten a year later by Pop Idol winner Will Young. With the release of their debut album Popstars, Hear'Say became the first act in UK chart history to simultaneously top the UK Singles Chart and UK Albums Chart with their debut releases. The group were invited to perform at the 80th birthday celebrations of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Hear'Say went on to present their own ITV show called Hear'Say It's Saturday, which featured performances, comedy sketches and celebrity guests. This followed on from a mini series named Meet the Popstars which was intended to allow the public to get to know the group and their music away from the talent show format. In August 2001, Hear'Say toured the United Kingdom. They initially announced five dates which quickly sold out, causing the band to schedule thirty more dates. However, the new dates struggled to sell out as hundreds of tickets remained unsold. The group also released a live DVD. Whilst on tour, the group began recording their second studio album, Everybody. In November 2001, just nine months after the release of their debut album, Hear'Say released Everybody. The album was preceded by a single of the same name. The single debuted at number four, while the album crept into the chart at number 24. and plans were made for an arena tour but these were later cancelled. A representative for Hear'Say denied the reports, stating: "Everybody who is involved with Hear'Say will be sitting down this week to discuss the future. Kym Marsh is still with the band." Auditions were held to find Marsh's replacement. The audition process was televised in segments of This Morning, an ITV daily morning show, mirroring the procedure during which the original members of Hear'Say were chosen. Johnny Shentall, husband of Steps singer Lisa Scott Lee, won the auditions, joining the group on 5 February 2002. Controversy erupted when it was found out that Shentall had previously been a member of short lived pop group Boom! and a back up dancer for Hear'Say. Media reports suggested that Polydor Records wanted the single to at least reach the UK Top 5. Following the disappointing sales of the single, it was thought that they would be dropped by the label, though no official word came from Polydor. Hear'Say split up on 1 October 2002, citing "abuse from the public" as the main reason. The group admitted to being a fad that had passed. ! style="width:2em;font size:90%;"| EUR
