[edit] Main artists
Having become the first all-girl group ever to score 13 consecutive Top 10 hits with their first set of releases (as part of Polydor), Girls Aloud moved to Fascination for the release of their greatest hits album The Sound of Girls Aloud and it's preceding singles "Something Kinda Ooooh" and "I Think We're Alone Now"
Shooting to fame as the singer of Spiller's "Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)", Sophie went on to score a string of Top 10 singles. Her multi-platinum album Read My Lips peaked straightly to the UK Top and was a success throughout many European Countries, Asia and Australia. After the release of her second album, Shoot From The Hip, Sophie took a break in from music to have a baby and to marry Richard Jones from The Feeling. She recently finished her third solo album with the Fascination team, which is due out in Spring 2007. It's entitled Trip the Light Fantastic with the first single from it being "Catch You", released on 19 February 2007, becoming her 9th Top 10 Hit.
