One of a handful of Neighbours actors to move into music, she released her debut album Left Of The Middle in late 1997. From that album was a cover version of a song by a relatively little-known American rock band called Ednaswap. Imbruglia's version highlighted the hit potential of the track and it set up her for a successful start to her singing career. It wasn't able to top the UK charts as a result of running into Barbie Girl but it nonetheless sold over a million copies and today sits in the top 100 best-selling singles of all time.

Similar to Chumbawamba, the band's origins date back many years before their commercial breakthrough. Their first 2 albums didn't chart anywhere however that would all change in 1997 with the release of Tragic Kingdom. Lead single Just A Girl scraped the UK top 40 in 1996 but Don't Speak would become arguably their magnum opus, debuting at #1 where it would stay for 3 consecutive weeks. More success would follow for the band stretching into the new millennium where lead singer Gwen Stefani would fly solo and carve out a very successful career of her own.

March 24, 20232 yr Good winner although I do prefer 'Shiver' from the 00's and 'Don't Speak' is great as well of course.
