My first new topic - wish me luck Popstars: The Rivals in 2002 produced two groups: a girlband and a boyband. Girls Aloud's first track "Sound of the Underground" was the first from a female group to debut at number 1 in the UK AND the first to get a Christmas number 1 with their first single.

Biography from AngelRecords.com Angela McCluskey swooped into my life in 1997. That’s what she does; she swoops into your world, as if from another epoch, all big hats and velvet and a dense Scottish slur. I was transformed, touched; she possessed an inexplicable magnetism, an infinite energy, scattering practical advice, poetry, Dorothy Parker-isms, and foul-mouthed jokes like fairy-dust. The force of her personality alone is enough to make her legendary, but here’s the thing: when she sings, only then will she righteously kick your ass. I could cite gushers like this: “The striking vocals of Angela McCluskey will make you remember the first time you heard Miles blow h…
