A Different Beat

A Different Beat is the title of the second studio album by Irish boy band Boyzone released on 28 October 1996 on Polydor records.

The follow-up to their no.1 debut Said and Done (1995), A Different Beat also went straight to no.1 in the UK.

The album was preceded by the no.1 single Words (originally written and released by the Bee Gees) and also spawned a second no.1 with the title track, released the following December. A third track, Isn't It a Wonder, was released as a single in 1997 and reached no.2 in the UK.

A Different Beat became the 18th best-selling album of 1996.

A new version of A Different Beat, including the hit single Picture of You as the opening track, was released in 1997. The song would also later feature on the group's third album Where We Belong released in 1998.
