History


1997–1998: Formation

S Club 7 were formed by

'' and held auditions with more than 10,000 applicants. Both Jo O'Meara and Paul Cattermole were spotted by producers from Fuller's company, 19 Management, and asked to audition. Rachel Stevens was the only member who did not audition; instead, two producers approached her and asked her to record a demo tape. According to the journalist

, after Fuller's disagreements with the Spice Girls, he picked "the blandest, most malleable characters ... nice kids who wouldn't answer back". Once the lineup was decided, the members flew to Italy to become acquainted with each other. Stevens remarked that the group "felt comfortable with each other from the beginning". Several members of the group said that the "S" in S Club 7 stands for Simon, after the group's creator, although the official explanation of the meaning has always been ambiguous. At one point they were nearly called "Sugar Club" instead of the name that stuck. Another theory is that the group is so-named because "S" is the first letter of the word "seven". McIntosh, in a December 2012 interview, said a lot of Fuller's success has been based on the number 19 (owning 19 Entertainment); therefore as "S" is the 19th letter of the alphabet, the "S" was put into S Club 7.


1999–2000: Debut and success

S Club 7 rose to fame in a children's television series, '' Miami 7,'' first broadcast on

In November, they recorded a second Children in Need single, " Have You Ever", co-written by Chris Braide and Cathy Dennis. The performance on the night featured many primary school children who had pre-recorded their own versions of the chorus, including the first television appearance by S Club Juniors. The single became the S Club 7's fourth number one and the 21st-biggest-selling single of 2001.


2002: Cattermole's departure

In January 2002, S Club 7 embarked upon their second arena tour. The third single from ''Sunshine'', " You", reached number two in the UK. The group was disappointed by the choice of single, as they had hoped to continue the more contemporary sound established by "Don't Stop Movin". Cattermole said later that they had "wanted to be perceived as cool since the very beginning" but that their management had "taken it away". In 2002, Cattermole left S Club 7 to rejoin his school metal band, Skua. He later described frustration with the S Club 7 management, and said that "things were being handled so badly, I had to go". Cattermole stayed with S Club 7 until June 2002, featuring in four episodes of their final television series, ''Viva S Club''. His final concert before his departure was Party at the Palace, part of

celebrations. Skua failed to secure a record deal. After Cattermole's departure, the group was renamed S Club. The remaining members re-signed their deal with Fuller and their record company. " Alive", S Club's first single without Cattermole, reached number five on the UK Singles Chart, and their fourth album, '' Seeing Double'', reached number 17. O'Meara announced that she would step back from performing for the remainder of the year due to a back condition.


2003: Film and breakup

In April 2003, S Club released their first feature film, '' Seeing Double'', a children's

, in which the group fought the evil scientist Victor Gaghan in his quest to clone the world's pop stars. The film's release was marred by rumours that the group were about to split, which they denied. According to Spearritt, of the 75 million the group had made for Fuller, whilst the members had received €150,000 each a year. The group members travelled economy on flights and prepared their own food and laundry when working abroad. Spearritt's parents reportedly hired lawyers to collect payments owed to them by Fuller and his management company. Ten days after the release of ''Seeing Double'', during their ''S Club United'' tour on 21 April 2003, S Club announced on stage that they were breaking up. They cited a mutual split, saying it was time "to move on and to face new challenges". Spearritt said that "she and her fellow bandmates wanted to do their own thing". Fans expressed anger after S Club had denied rumours of a split only weeks prior. Their final single was a double A-side, coupling " Love Ain't Gonna Wait for You", from their fourth album ''Seeing Double'', with a new ballad, " Say Goodbye", released on 26 May, which reached number two in the UK. On 2 June, a greatest hits album, '' Best: The Greatest Hits of S Club 7,'' was released, containing the previously unreleased track, "Everybody Get Pumped". It reached number two in the United Kingdom.


2003–2008: Solo projects

In 2003, Stevens signed a £1.5 million four-album deal with Polydor and Fuller. Her debut solo album, '' Funky Dory'', reached number nine on the UK Albums Chart and was certified gold. In 2004, Spearritt acted in the films '' Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London'' and '' Seed of Chucky'', and played the lead role of Abby Maitland for five series of the ITV science fiction series '' Primeval''. In January 2007, O'Meara joined the fifth series of the British

The incident drew record numbers of viewer complaints and international media coverage. After leaving the show, O'Meara denied that she was racist and said that the show's editing had misconstrued her behaviour. In 2008, O'Meara, Cattermole and McIntosh began performing at British nightclubs, universities and holiday camps as S Club 3, joined occasionally by other former members. Cattermole later declared bankruptcy and sold his 2000 BRIT Award at auction. He worked various other jobs, such as a community radio manager and as a psychic.


2014–2015: Reunion

On 14 November 2014, S Club 7 reunited for a BBC ''Children in Need'' telethon, performing a medley of "S Club Party", "Reach", "Bring It All Back" and "Don't Stop Movin". On 28 April 2015, S Club 7 reissued ''Best: The Greatest Hits of S Club 7'', with a previously unreleased song, "Rain", as well as "Friday Night" from the ''S Club'' album. In May, S Club 7 performed in UK arenas on the Bring It All Back 2015 tour. By December 2017, the group had reverted to a trio once more and released the single, "Family". In 2019, Cattermole said that Fuller, not the group members, had been signed to Polydor as S Club 7. The members were merely affiliates and received "pittance" from merchandise. In January 2023, Spearritt said she had been forced into homelessness, living in four temporary homes over a six-month period. She said that people wrongly assumed the members of S Club 7 were millionaires, and that they had not been on a good wage compared to the modern music industry.


2023–present: Second reunion and death of Cattermole

On 13 February 2023, S Club 7 announced on '' The One Show'' that they would reunite for a two-week 25th-anniversary tour that October. On 6 April, at age 46, Cattermole died of several heart conditions: cardiac arrhythmia, acute myocardial ischemia and severe coronary artery atheroma and intraplaque haemorrhage. Following his death, ''Best: The Greatest Hits of S Club 7'' reached number seven on the Official Album Downloads Chart Top 100. On 14 May, the group announced they had changed their name back to S Club and that Spearritt would not join them on their coming tour, which they would honour as the Good Times Tour as a tribute to Cattermole. Though Lee said Spearritt remained a member, other sources reported that she had left. On 30 June, "Don't Stop Movin" entered the vinyl charts at number one. On 26 July, S Club released their first new single in more than 20 years, " These Are the Days", in memory of Cattermole. It was written and produced by S Club's original songwriting team; Barrett described it as "a nod to our old sound". Spearritt did not take part, saying she was still too upset by Cattermole's death. The group partnered with the British Heart Foundation to raise awareness of heart conditions and raise funds for research. The Good Times Tour began on 12 October at the

Musical style

The style of music S Club 7 has is usually pop, or more specifically bubblegum pop. Their first two singles had vocals shared equally amongst the seven members of the group, and it was not until their third single, "Two in a Million", that O'Meara became known as their lead vocalist. Although the band were to progressively change their style over the four years they were together, even their first album had many tracks atypical of the pop genre: "You're My Number One" and "Everybody Wants Ya" were

-driven, whereas "Viva La Fiesta" and "It's a Feel Good Thing" were both bouncy, salsa-driven Latino songs. Over the years their style and direction changed progressively with each new album. Their second album ''7'' had songs with styles that somewhat opposed the traditional pop songs that rival pop bands of the nineties were releasing. With the release of "Natural" in 2000, S Club 7 showcased a new R&B-lite sound. The release of their third album, ''Sunshine'', gave audiences their biggest change: the album contained tracks such as the

After the departure of Cattermole, S Club released their fourth and final album, ''Seeing Double'', including the single "Alive", which was called a power-packed dance floor filler. The single has a style similar to that of their final single, "Love Ain't Gonna Wait for You". The album contained dance tracks that varied from their original bubblegum pop stylings, such as the sex for the CBBC generation on "Hey Kitty Kitty". A reviewer for ''
