November 24, 201312 yr 39 Boyzone - Love Will Save The Day [D] http://a2.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Music4/v4/de/83/0f/de830f67-d0ba-de50-9964-3ae953231bba/825646362394.170x170-75.jpg Chart Run: 39 [1 wk] Release date: 17-11-2013 Format: digital single Label: Rhino Entertainment Video here: qRdfS2KMtPE Biography Boyzone was Europe's most successful boy bands during the second half of the 1990s. Comprised of five Irish vocalists and funded by music manager Louis Walsh, the group embraced a similar style of pop music as Take That, whose breakup in 1996 created a void that Boyzone happily filled. By combining boyish charm with slick songwriting (much of which was co-written by the bandmates themselves), the singers found enormous success throughout the U.K., where 16 of their first 17 singles became Top Five hits. Six of those songs made it to number one, establishing Boyzone as the first Irish group to top the British charts so regularly, and bandmate Stephen Gately garnered additional headlines in 1999 by announcing his homosexuality, making Boyzone one of the only boy bands to include an openly gay member. The group didn't fare nearly as well in America, where acts like *NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys reigned supreme, but Boyzone's success in Europe was nearly unparalleled during the group's heyday. Boyzone was founded in 1993 by Louis Walsh, an aspiring music mogul who — like Maurice Starr and Lou Pearlman — formed, funded, and managed the group from day one. Over 300 vocalists auditioned for Walsh's project, including future actor Colin Farrell, but the competition was ultimately narrowed down to five males: Mikey Graham, Stephen Gately, Shane Lynch, Keith Duffy, and lead vocalist Ronan Keating. The quintet initially honed its sound by performing covers of '70s pop tunes, including Detroit Spinners' "Working My Way Back to You," which became a number three hit on the Irish charts, and the Osmonds' "Love Me for a Reason," Boyzone's first single to chart in the U.K. When it came time to write original material, however, the group hired Ray Hedges of Take That to lend his songwriting assistance. With Hedges' help, Boyzone filled their debut effort, Said and Done, with five high-charting singles. Released in 1995, the album eventually went triple-platinum in the U.K. and paved the way for A Different Beast, which arrived in 1998 and spawned three additional singles (including a pair of number one hits). Similar groups were concurrently reigning the airwaves in America, but Boyzone rarely concentrated their efforts overseas, focusing instead on the fan bases that had sprung up in Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, Austria, and other European countries. By the time Where We Belong arrived in 1998, the boys had become certifiable superstars at home, selling more than three million copies of their new album in the U.K. and sending Where We Belong to the top of the charts in five countries. As the decade drew to a close, Boyzone released a popular greatest-hits album, By Request, and continued touring the continent. Meanwhile, Ronan Keating jumpstarted his solo career by releasing "When You Say Nothing at All" in June 1999, the same month that Stephen Gately announced he was gay. Attention continued to swirl around the band, but Boyzone nevertheless called it quits after a final performance in January 2000, citing intra-band tension as the reason for the split. Both Keating and Gately gained additional recognition as solo artists during the following years, while Duffy pursued an acting career. In light of Take That's successful reunion in 2006, Boyzone re-formed two years later. A 29-city tour proved to be fairly lucrative, as did the release of Back Again...No Matter What, a compilation album that scored another Top Five hit with the new song "Love You Anyway." Additional new material was recorded for a proper studio album, but Stephen Gately died before the album's release, passing away in October 2009 due to an acute pulmonary edema. Carrying on as a four-piece, the band dedicated their 2010 release Brother to Gately and subsequently toured the U.K. and Ireland. In 2013 they marked their 20th anniversary with a nationwide tour which spanned huge venues such as Dublin and London's O2 Arenas and Birmingham's NEC. - iTunes Chart history (Year peak title): 1994 02 Love Me For A Reason -1- 1995 03 Key To My Life -2- 1995 03 So Good -3- 1995 02 Father And Son -4- 1996 04 Coming Home Now -5- 1996 01 Words -1- 1996 01 A Different Beat -2- 1997 02 Isn't It A Wonder -3- 1997 02 Picture Of You -1- 1997 02 Baby Can I Hold You/Shooting Star -2- 1998 01 All That I Need -3- 1998 01 No Matter What -4- MILLION SELLER 1998 02 I Love The Way You Love Me -5- 1999 01 When The Going Gets Tough -1- 1999 01 You Needed Me -2- 1999 03 Every Day I Love You -1- 2008 05 Love You Anyway -1- 2008 22 Better -2- 2010 09 Gave It All Away -1- 2010 44 Love Is A Hurricane -2- 2013 39 Love Will Save The Day -1- Ok record from them, I'm more of a fan of the first big UK hit, "Love Me For A Reason" but that's about it.

Featuring the vocal talents of Oritsé Williams, Aston Merrygold, Jonathan Gill, and Marvin Humes, JLS formed in London in 2007. Post-X Factor, JLS signed with Epic Records and released the single "Beat Again" in 2009. JLS' full-length self-titled debut album was released later that year. In 2010, on the heels of picking up a few Brit Awards, JLS released a six-song self-titled EP as well as their sophomore effort, Outta This World. The band returned in 2011 with the album Jukebox, featuring the single "She Makes Me Wanna." Also in 2011, JLS released the 3-D concert film and accompanying live album Eyes Wide Open. In 2012, JLS returned with it's fourth studio-album, Evolution. With production from Mr. Bangladesh (Usher, Beyoncé, T-Pain) and Rodney Jerkins (Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber), the album showcased a pop-meets-R&B sound influenced by the '90s new jack swing aesthetic. On 24th April 2013, JLS revealed to fans via a national newspaper and the social media website Twitter that they were to split up. Marvin Humes stated that, after five years as a band, they didn't want to "outstay their welcome", while Aston Merrygold added, "it’s just that time. We are still best of friends and always will be — but this is the end." JLS would call it a day after a farewell arena tour and the release of Goodbye - The Greatest Hits. - iTunes Chart history (Year peak title): 2009 01 Beat Again -1- 2009 01 Everybody In Love -2- 2010 06 One Shot -3- 2010 01 The Club Is Alive -1- 2010 01 Love You More -2- 2011 08 Eyes Wide Shut (JLS Feat.
