When you think about it - "Don't Stop Movin'" was the only single of theirs that wasn't tied to an "event" per se. I know it got released just before their first tour but it wasn't really tied into that as such!

They've been sharing some images of collections that fans have tagged them in on Instagram... And I'd did promise I'd share pictures of mine so here we go!

Oh same, "Everybody Wants Ya" would have been my obvious choice for a single! I can understand why they didn't have many singles but then as they were all so closely tied to either a TV series or special or in the case of "Have You Ever" and "Never Had A Dream Come True" to Children In Need, you can see why we didn't get as many as they could have done.

Aaah thanks. Although I might resize the names on it as the "y" on Bradley is partly cut off and my perfectionism won't allow it 😂

I know it's only been two weeks since it came back, but I noticed that there's no forum header yet. I've rustled up a couple of designs which I thought we might want to use?

She's announced a couple of HMV signings for release week. I've pre-ordered for the Westfield one!

Interview on This Morning yesterday: G9Cr2DHbsao He also did some Q&A thing on Reddit last night: https://www.reddit.com/r/popheads/comments/...art_might_skip/ Tellingly in this, he said a repacked version of "Marry Me" with a tour DVD "is unlikely", and that he wanted to make videos for the other singles so far "but that decision was taken out of his hands". Sounds like he's not entirely happy with EMI...

Don't think so. By the time promo for "Two In A Million / You're My Number One" was done, they were back from Christmas and straight into filming for L.A 7 / recording the "7" album.

They're on Good Morning Britain tomorrow after 8:30am talking about the tour. Also doing a livestream on their social channels at 5pm!

Awful about his wife, hope she's OK. I'll be honest when I say that musically I've not really been here for him since the X era (that and + are still his best albums for me), but if it's more in keeping with what he originally came out with I'd be prepared to give it a go.

They've filmed the video for their new single - and a full announcement is coming a week on Friday... They're also confirmed to play Brighton Pride on 6th August: My copy of the first album on orange vinyl was dispatched today as well!

I swear down that pre-sale was such a stress - more than S Club 7 was I'd say! There was me stupidly thinking M&G wouldn't go so fast for Brighton! (I didn't bother with London, that always goes so quick). Anyway I did eventually get Meet and Greet for Cardiff on 30th October, so I'm a happy bouncing bunny ☺️ Gonna be a busy old week though, as my S Club date is a couple of days before that at The O2 and I'm seeing Gabrielle a few days before that in Cambridge! A lot of time with a suitcase and hotels but it's all worth it 👍

Same! I was trying to get my detective hat on and look at where they were filming. It looked a bit like that ballroom in Lewisham where they filmed the Don't Stop Movin' video?

I mean I can't speak for anyone else's experience but I've ordered the Nicola and Sophie Ellis-Bextor vinyls that Plastic Pop has done before and I've not had any major issues, save for being sent two copies of one of the Sophie vinyls (I think it was two of "Shoot From The Hip" when it was just meant to be one of that and one of "Trip The Light Fantastic"). But that was just a small human error - hey, who of us can say we're perfect? - and he was so lovely and sent me a return slip so I didn't have to pay to send the duplicate one back and he got the correct vinyl out within a couple of days. From what I gather he runs it all himself, and that's a lot to take on by yourself, particularly as it's a boutique record label. There are things in my job that I do better than others, but I do them anyway because otherwise the rest of my job can't be done. And as for the Holly Valance saga highlighted above, people have different views on things. I can't say I care for some of her political leanings but if you can detach that from the music, should it really matter?

Literally one of my favourite first album era tracks. Partly because they did it with the same team - Elliot Kennedy, Tim Lever and Mike Percy - it's got that same sort of "Bring It All Back" vibe to it but also a bit of a sunny, tropical vibe! If this got put onto streaming it would literally make me so happy ☺️

I must tell my friend who lives near there then - she loves a bit of S Club but she gave the first on sale a miss. I'd hate her to miss out!

Very nice Jay ☺️ I've put the gang in my signature as well 👍

What he said was that there's a lot of energy that goes into making a new album. I don't think there's anything negative necessarily to take away from that, and he's right to a degree. They've all got their different plates outside the band that they're spinning as well, throwing an album and rehearsals for a tour into the mix is quite full on, Aston has his own solo tour coming in April before that as well. Plus they've not had a chance to tour any of the songs from 2.0 yet and give them their moment in the spotlight, so it's not like the new show will be totally bereft of new material. Also they were great today but Reesh in particular was hilarious on Sunday Brunch. Accidentally dropping a swear after getting a bit tipsy in the wine tasting section and saying that he and his wife Kazz were redecorating their home with sugar syrup (he meant sugar soap) 😂

I was about to say, that's what it's reference to, that's always been how they've finished tours since the beginning with that as the encore.

The band's TV shows and one hour specials on the BBC and ITV was how most fans came to be aware of them - so which is your favourite? Of the series it has to be L.A 7 for me - and for the one hour specials it has to be Back to the Fifties / Boyfriends and Birthdays.

Oh I love "Stand By You" 😍 The erasure of this and "Spiritual Love" on Spotify is a hate crime! I loved the dance routine as well. It's just a really happy, fun song!

"7" is by far and away my favourite album of theirs - so I was really shocked to find out in recent years that it's been so rubbished on pop forums / by the fans. I guess because it was in essence the soundtrack of L.A 7 - which is my favourite of their TV series - is what solidified my love of it. I genuinely love all the songs on it, it has that cool, laid-back sort of California vibe to it, in much the same way the songs on "S Club" all had that vibrant Miami beach feel to them that reflected Miami 7. I thought "All In Love Is Fair" was such a gorgeous song and I still do, I'd give my right arm for them to perform it on this tour that's coming up. I love "I'll Be There" as well, it has such a beautiful chilled out vibe to it, same with "Spiritual Love". I felt like such a boss when 12 year old me mastered Bradley's rap on that one 🤣 They really missed a trick not having "Bring The House Down" as a double-A-side with "Never Had A Dream Come True". It was the obvious choice of single after "Natural" anyway. I'm right in saying the remixes were already commissioned and sent out as promos before "Never Had A Dream Come True" was confirmed as the next single, so they were a bit silly not to do that. They'd done it with "Two In A Million / You're My Number One" the year before! So cutting an album short for singles made no sense at all.

I might have got myself a ticket for the Matinee show at the O2. I'll sell my ticket for the evening show a bit nearer the time. I was transferring some of my savings across ready for JLS' pre-sale on Wednesday and I thought "why the hell not?" Saves me a hotel bill as well 😂

Any update on when the UK pre-order is coming for this?
