Is SOTU not their biggest hit?

 

Oh yeah :lol: I sort of meant their biggest hit that wasn't a reality TV show coronation single, but I guess SOTU has transcended that tag anyway with its classic status.

 

Sales aside, The Promise sort of felt bigger to me than anything else they'd done as it crashed in at #1 with a large sale for the time, six years deep into their career, got them probably more airplay than they'd ever had before and took their career up to another gear. They felt completely ubiquitous and all-conquering at the time.

And then at the height of their career, they took the 'break' :drama:

 

01. Sexy! No No No...

02. Something Kinda Ooooh

03. Sound of the Underground

04. The Show

05. The Promise

06. Something New

07. Long Hot Summer

 

That top 3 is absolutely incredible. :wub: GA were very on point with their lead singles, besides 'Long Hot Summer' which is one of their weakest and should have really been 'Biology'. I'm so glad that 'Sexy! No No No...' got its moment in the sun as the lead (it's my favourite single of theirs) as it was far more risky than 'Call The Shots'; they were smart to save that one for the second single as the longevity for it was superb.
