All Saints

All Saints were a British girl group formed in London in 1993. Originally known as All Saints 1.9.7.5 and comprising members Melanie Blatt, Shaznay Lewis, and Simone Rainford, the group were signed to ZTT Records although failed to gain any notable commercial success. In 1996, Rainford had already left and the group were joined by Canadian-born sisters Nicole and Natalie Appleton and signed to London Records under the name of just All Saints.

They had their first hit in 1997 with the single I Know Where It's At, followed by Never Ever, a Top 3 hit in November of the same year, eventually reaching no.1 for one week in early 1998. Five more no.1 hits followed in the period up to November 2000. Their eponymous debut album reached no.2 in 1997 and the follow-up Saints and Sinners went straight to no.1 when released in late 2000.

Al Saints split the following year, re-forming in 2006 with the release of new album Studio 1 which failed to match previous success and the group was dropped by Parlophone. They reunited in 2014 for a series of live performances, followed by the release of Red Flag (2016), and Testament (2018), which reached nos. 03 and 15 respectively in the UK.

Never Ever became the thirteenth biggest selling single of 1997 and the sixteenth of 1998, and their debut album the twentieth biggest seller of '97 and the ninth of '98. All Saints also won awards for Best British single and Best British video, both for Never Ever, at the 1998 Brit Awards.
