About Five

Formed in 1997 by music mogul Simon Fuller, the original line-up of Five – Sean Conlon, J Brown, Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson, and Abz Love – exploded onto the music scene with a raw, edgy, and undeniably catchy pop-rock sound. Unlike many of their contemporaries, Five injected a healthy dose of urban cool and guitar-driven anthems into the often sugary landscape of late 90s pop. Their debut album, the self-titled Five, launched in 1998, immediately catapulted them to stardom with massive singles like “When the Lights Go Out” and “Got the Feelin’.”

Their follow-up, Invincible, released in 1999, further cemented their global success. This album spawned their biggest hit to date, the iconic collaboration with Queen and Freddie Mercury’s vocals, “We Will Rock You.” The track, a powerful reinterpretation of the Queen classic, topped charts worldwide and became an enduring anthem of stadium rock and pop fusion. Other defining hits from this era include the infectious “Everybody Get Up,” the soulful ballad “Until the Time Is Through,” and the anthemic “Keep On Movin’.”

Five’s appeal lay in their diverse personalities and their ability to seamlessly blend rap verses, R&B harmonies, and powerful pop choruses. They weren’t afraid to experiment, incorporating influences from hip-hop and rock into their music, which set them apart from the more traditional boybands. Their stage presence was legendary, characterized by energetic choreography, individual showmanship, and a genuine connection with their audience. After achieving multi-platinum status and selling millions of records globally, Five announced their split in 2001, leaving a void in the pop music landscape. However, their music continued to resonate, becoming the soundtrack to countless memories for fans. Their recent reunions and live performances have proven that the magic of Five is far from over, with their music still capable of igniting a crowd and bringing people together.
