November 12, 200717 yr They're definitely reuniting for a concert in Liverpool in January called The Number One Project. It's to celebrate the opening of the new arena on the Docks with the idea that everyone who was from Liverpool and performed on a UK number 1 record over the history of the charts performs. As long as they're still alive! Apparently Liverpool holds the record for the most number 1's from any city in the world with over 50. Other prominent acts from the city will also perform covers of some of the number 1s. The 56 Number Ones Artist Year Song Title Lita Roza 1953 How Much Is That Doggy In The Window?

We are aiming to raise at least £1 million to distribute among 6 of the city’s leading charities, The Liverpool Echo Sunrise Appeal, The Marina Dalglish Appeal, Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, Radio City’s Give A Child A Chance, Radio Merseyside Charitable Trust and The Marie Curie Liverpool Hospice Appeal. January 21st 2008 will see the release of a single featuring the hottest nationally and internationally acclaimed artists from Merseyside’s past and present. The release of the single is timed to commemorate the launch of Liverpool as European Capital of Culture. The single will be a double A side release produced by Ian Broudie. We will decide the other songs for the single when we hear the finished versions and they will be released as two separate physical singles and on all download platforms, with three other (as yet undecided) songs completing the formats. The single will be followed on January 28th by “Covers and Collaborations – The Number Ones Album” a celebration of Liverpool’s world record for being the city with the most number of chart topping singles. The album will feature unique cover versions of some of the 56 number one singles performed by its leading artists. The remainder will be for sale via the project’s website www.thenumberoneproject.org. The single and album will be available to buy at all major record stores across the UK and in digital download formats while sponsors Bacardi are investing heavily in helping us directly market the records online and at retail. The list of songs and artists is hugely exciting and the album will be a must have item for anyone who is a fan not just of Liverpool but of great songs and great recordings. The project kicks off on January 19th with a huge charity concert at Liverpool’s new Kings Dock Arena where a wide variety of artists will perform the 56 number ones. This show is being promoted by Chas Cole at CMP Entertainment, who is responsible for the city’s hugely successful Summer Pops series among many other world class shows. The arena has a capacity of 10,000, and there are many different packages available for the night. We are in negotiations with our broadcast partners Initial/Endemol regarding TV coverage across the week commencing January 21st, with the shows featuring documentary footage of Liverpool’s musical heritage presented by its myriad of successful artists, intercut with performances from the arena show. The arena show itself will also be released as a stand alone DVD with all proceeds going to the six charities. Already the key media in the region have come together in a unique partnership to promote the project across their networks and readerships, as have the six charities. The combined reach of all these organizations and their databases is huge and we are adding associates and affiliates to the list daily. All net proceeds from the project are going to the charities, we really hope you find the project an exciting proposition and can help us in whatever way you can in making it a success and helping properly celebrate our fabulous city in its proudest year. what about Heidi Range's 6 number 1's with the sugababes?
November 12, 200717 yr But that was a $h!t song, $h!t video. I doubt they would copy that. but they did. regardless of what you think of overload ^^ They were identical though :lol: Exactly What a white background???! unoriginal on both counts, but 'blatent copy' I don't think so! :huh: have you even watch them? Nm7MjQLKfA8 overload^ then atomic kittens rip off of the video I34x6pbtoJE and before u can say it, yes overload was first. Edited November 12, 200717 yr by Liquid Talent
November 12, 200717 yr Author what about Heidi Range's 6 number 1's with the sugababes? Because she isnt a founding member and the rest of the band arent from liverpool, otherwise all of the Spice's no.1's would be up there too.
November 12, 200717 yr This is so unnecessary. They haven't been away long enough to generate the hype of Take That and the Spice Girls. Or even All Saints and Boyzone. It's not so much their sound that doesn't fit anymore, as their image. The girls have no personality, and the only one of them who is still vaguely well-known is the one who left in 2000.
November 12, 200717 yr just looking at them vids lol and i cant believe how much better Whole again is :D
November 13, 200717 yr Author are all of atomic kitten form liverpool? Natasha and Liz are, im pretty sure Kerry is too and Jenny's parents are (i think). Its the fact that AK were formed, recorded their first songs and perfomed their first concert in Liverpool. Their original managements offices were based there too. So basically - they're a total liverpoodlian group.
November 13, 200717 yr I loved "Someone Liked Me" from them. Amazing band! Hope they are getting back together
November 13, 200717 yr Natasha and Liz are, im pretty sure Kerry is too and Jenny's parents are (i think). Its the fact that AK were formed, recorded their first songs and perfomed their first concert in Liverpool. Their original managements offices were based there too. So basically - they're a total liverpoodlian group. Little Known Fact Heidi was a founding member of Atomic Kitten, but left before the band were signed to sing more RnB orientated pop style songs i.e. Freak Like Me, Round Round
November 14, 200717 yr I know Cradle was a flop, but wasnt that an old song? like from their first album? it makes sense why it did poor, aside from being nothing new, im sure most people already had the track by that time. I wouldn't mind AK reforming, they had some good songs, but they did a lot of covers too.
November 14, 200717 yr Author Little Known Fact Not really, both AK and Heidi herself have admitted that in interviews.
November 17, 200717 yr oh God, no... Chronic Kitten were the worst girlband ever...even worse than B-Witched and Cheeky Girls... :puke2:
November 17, 200717 yr oh God, no... Chronic Kitten were the worst girlband ever...even worse than B-Witched and Cheeky Girls... :puke2: I agree. Please don't let this reunion happen!
November 19, 200717 yr Not really, both AK and Heidi herself have admitted that in interviews. its far less well know than for example. the ak had 3 line ups
November 19, 200717 yr oh God, no... Chronic Kitten were the worst girlband ever...even worse than B-Witched and Cheeky Girls... :puke2: Totally agreed.
November 25, 200717 yr probably my fave girl band ever :o i would like to see them back soon...maybe end of 08 ^_^ i still regularly listen to there greatest hits they had some class tunes in their time :wub:
December 21, 200717 yr Erm...is this for real? http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProduct...tx=280;-1;-1;-1
December 21, 200717 yr Seems like all bands are trying to have a massive successful comeback - like Take That and the Spice Girls - but if every old band does it it wont be the same... as long as they have a good single I dont mind I do own most of their stuff from the past anyway
