Five (occasionally stylised as 5ive) are an English boy band formed in 1997 consisting of members Sean Conlon, Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson, Abz Love and Jason "J" Brown. Five released several hit singles around the turn of the 21st century, particularly in their native United Kingdom. The group has sold over 20 million records worldwide.{{cite web |last1=Sunner |first1=Amber |date=31 October 2021 |title=Everything you need to know about Abz Love |url=https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/celebs-tv/who-abz-love-what-five-6135749 |access-date=21 January 2022 |website=Bristol Post |language=en}}

Five were formed by Heart Management, who held auditions to create a boy band. The group were subsequently signed by Simon Cowell and BMG/RCA. In November 1997, Five released their debut single "Slam Dunk (Da Funk)", which peaked at number 10 on the UK Singles Chart. Their subsequent single, "When the Lights Go Out", became an international hit, peaking at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, 4 in the UK, and within the top ten of six further countries. Their debut album, Five (1998), sold over 4 million copies worldwide and produced 3 additional UK top 3 singles: "Got the Feelin{{'-}}", "Everybody Get Up", and "It's the Things You Do".

Their second album, Invincible (1999), sold over 1 million copies worldwide and contains the number 2 UK hit "If Ya Gettin' Down" as well as the number ones and "We Will Rock You" and "Keep On Movin{{'-}}", the latter of which became their biggest selling single. Five released their third album, Kingsize (2001), amid tensions within the group. Conlon did not appear in the music video for the album's first single, "Let's Dance". Nevertheless, the band attributed his lack of participation in the video and promotional activities to illness, and the song became a number one hit. In September, the group announced that they would be splitting; Greatest Hits was released that November.

The group briefly reformed without Conlon in September 2006, but soon disbanded. In 2012, they announced that they were planning another reunion, this time with Conlon on board but without Brown. The group continued with only four members, but decided to keep the name Five. Alongside other musical groups, Five were featured in the ITV2 documentary series The Big Reunion (2013).{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/tvandradioblog/2013/mar/07/have-you-been-watching-big-reunion|title=Have you been watching … The Big Reunion?|last=Stephens|first=Heidi|date=7 March 2013|work=The Guardian|access-date=27 February 2025}} This was followed by the collaborative Big Reunion tour that May. In August 2014, Love announced his departure from the band, leaving Conlon, Neville, and Robinson to continue as a trio until February 2025 when the original lineup reformed.

Career

=1997–1998: Formation and ''Five''=

In 1997, an advertisement was placed in the UK performing arts newspaper The Stage, asking for young male singers/dancers to audition for a boy band-style group with "attitude and edge". Bob and Chris Herbert of Heart Management, the two men who had earlier created the Spice Girls, thought the time was right for a male group.{{Cite web |last=Theatrefullstop |date=2024-11-25 |title=Singer and Performer of the boyband ‘Five’ Scott Robinson talks about their upcoming ‘The Biggest 90s and 00s Disco’ Arena Shows and ‘Kubix Arena Tour ‘ Shows - Theatrefullstop |url=https://www.theatrefullstop.com/2024/11/25/singer-and-performer-of-the-boyband-five-scott-robinson-talks-about-their-upcoming-the-biggest-90s-and-00s-disco-arena-shows-and-kubix-arena-tour-shows/ |access-date=2024-12-30 |language=en-GB}} Over 3,000 hopefuls auditioned, including Russell Brand, who performed Extreme's song "More Than Words" for the judges.{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/features/music-interviews/5ive-brit-awards-noel-liam-gallagher-new-album-time-3153864|title=Does Rock 'N' Roll Kill Braincells?! – 5ive|last=Ryan|first=Gary|date=4 February 2022|work=NME}} They were finally narrowed down to only 14, five of whom had arranged themselves into a group while waiting for their audition. The auditions resulted in a provisional casting of nine members: Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson, Sean Conlon, Jason "J" Brown, Richard Breen (now better known as Abz Love), and Peter Cheshire, Paul Taylor, Anthony Baker (rapper) and Ric Hershon. As his first name is Richard, Breen used his nickname 'Abs' (from his middle name, "Abidin") to avoid confusion with Ritchie (born Richard Neville Dobson). Cheshire and Taylor were later cut when the final members were chosen in May 1997 and Hershon could not attend the final selection. Baker made it into the band originally, but doubt was cast over his rapping style as his North East accent came through. The management initially were looking a four piece band, and were going to select J, Sean, Scott and Ritchie for the band, but when they saw Abs with the others they decided a five piece would work better.

The group were subsequently signed by Simon Cowell and BMG/RCA for a six-album deal. Five practised and demoed their work at Trinity Studios in Knaphill. In November 1997, Five released their debut single "Slam Dunk (Da Funk)", which debuted at number 10 in the UK Singles Chart. The song was also released in the U.S. in 1998 but had little chart success, reaching number 86 on the Billboard Hot 100, although it was chosen as the NBA's new theme song. In 1998, Five earned their first major international hit, "When the Lights Go Out", which cracked the U.S. top 10 and earned Gold status there soon after. Five then went on an eight-day tour to promote their upcoming album, appearing in a concert special for the Disney Channel with Irish girl group B*Witched, in Times Square in New York City and on MTV's TRL. The debut album, Five, peaked at number 27 in the U.S. Billboard 200 and topped the charts in other countries worldwide, including the UK.

"It's the Things You Do" was released in late 1998 in the U.S., only to receive a lukewarm reception. The group embarked upon a U.S. tour with the American boy band NSYNC, but soon after pulled out due to exhaustion, flying back to England to rest and start work on a new album. Still from the first album, "Got the Feelin{{'-}}", "Everybody Get Up", and "Until the Time Is Through" were all released as singles in the UK throughout 1998. Five reached the top 5 in several countries around the world, and the latter two singles each rose to the number two spot in the UK. A significant element in Five's popularity was their resemblance to groups such as New Kids on the Block, East 17, the Backstreet Boys and NSYNC in their uptempo musical style and 'street' image, in contrast to Take That, Boyzone, and 98 Degrees, who at the time were primarily known for their ballads. Five also wrote or co-wrote the majority of their songs, which was atypical of boy bands at the time.

Five were famously offered songs that turned out to be huge hits for Britney Spears and 'N Sync. In 1997, Max Martin was working on the song "...Baby One More Time." It was originally written for the Backstreet Boys, and was turned down; it was later also passed on by TLC.{{cite web|last=Middis|first=Jessie|title=The three groups who turned down 'Baby One More Time' before Britney Spears|url=https://uk.news.yahoo.com/the-artists-who-almost-sung-baby-one-more-time-britney-spears-144143682.html|publisher=Yahoo! News|access-date=5 March 2023|date=22 October 2021}} Simon Cowell offered Martin an Aston Martin luxury vehicle if Martin would give the song to Five. Five initially began writing verses, however, Martin had promised the song to up-and-coming Britney Spears. In keeping his word, the finished song went to Britney.{{cite web|last=Robinson|first=Scott|title=Scott Robinson 3 Feb 2023 TikTok|url=https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRWfjV2r/|publisher=TikTok|access-date=3 February 2023|date=3 February 2023}}{{cite web|last=Cowell|first=Simon|title=Interview with Simon Cowell at his Malibu home|url=https://www.justsimoncowell.com/simon-cowell-stemdrop|publisher=JustSimonCowell|access-date=4 March 2023|date=2023}} Five were later offered "Bye Bye Bye," by Martin with the only completed lyric being "ain't no lie baby, bye bye bye." Upon hearing the song and attempting to write verses, Scott Robinson noted it sounded more like 'N Sync song than a Five song. The band subsequently passed on the song.

=1999–2000: ''Invincible''=

In August 1999, the first single of their second album, Invincible, "If Ya Gettin' Down", was released and became a major hit worldwide but yet again failed to go to number 1 in their home country, kept out of the top spot by Ricky Martin. Finally, in October 1999, after three consecutive number-two peaks, "Keep On Movin{{'-}}" became their first UK number 1, as well as their biggest selling single to date. The second album hit the top five shortly thereafter. "Don't Wanna Let You Go" was released in early March 2000, peaking at number 9. On 3 March 2000, Five opened at the BRIT Awards with rock legends Queen, performing an updated version of that band's hit, "We Will Rock You". That night Five won their first BRIT Award, as "Best Pop Act", and their cover of the Queen song went on to become their second number 1 in the UK in July 2000.

The first half of 2000 found Five on a successful world tour, performing concerts in the UK, Europe, Russia, Australasia and—as a foursome—South America, after Neville contracted chickenpox and had to be flown back to England. After finishing the tour, Five continued to perform at many concerts in the UK, including Party in the Park with Queen. A re-issue of Invincible included remixed versions of a couple of songs and five live tracks from their tour, as well as a bonus track, "Don't Fight It Baby". Due for release in July 2000 in the US, the song was pulled from release after the group was dropped by their stateside label, Arista Records. Five also had problems with their Asian record company, and subsequently cancelled their Asian tour. Suffering from this major blow, the lads headed back to the studio and started writing songs for their next album. They continued to win awards in the UK and Europe, and in December 2000 launched their second big tour, in their home country.

=2001: ''Kingsize'' and split=

In January 2001, Five performed at Rock in Rio in Rio de Janeiro to an audience of almost 500,000 people. By May 2001, their third studio album Kingsize was completed. The following month, the group began a promotional campaign for the album's first single, "Let's Dance". On 9 July, the group announced that Sean Conlon had contracted glandular fever and would be taking time off from the group for at least four weeks.{{cite news|url=http://www.dotmusic.com/artists/Five/news/July2001/news20871.asp|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020827233811/http://www.dotmusic.com/artists/Five/news/July2001/news20871.asp |archive-date=27 August 2002 |title=Let's Not Dance|publisher=dotmusic|date=9 July 2001}} The other four members continued promotional activities in his stead; Conlon later revealed that he was not suffering from fever but instead from a stress-induced mental breakdown caused by conflict within the group.{{cite news|url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/we-were-a-train-crash-5ive-1567908|title='We were a train crash": 5ive talk tears, breakdowns and anger on The Big Reunion|publisher=Daily Mirror|date=31 January 2013}} In the video for "Let's Dance", recorded in mid-July, a life-size cardboard cut-out of Conlon was used in his place. "Let's Dance" was released commercially in mid August, and became their third UK number one, holding the top spot for two weeks. On 23 August, the group canceled several planned promotional performances after Ritchie Neville damaged his achilles tendon. The group also noted the continued absence of Conlon, adding that he was suffering from "physical and mental exhaustion".{{cite news|url=http://www.dotmusic.com/artists/Five/news/August2001/news21567.asp|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020630195654/http://www.dotmusic.com/artists/Five/news/August2001/news21567.asp |archive-date=30 June 2002 |title=Five in Turmoil|publisher=dotmusic|date=23 August 2001}} Kingsize was released on 28 August and debuted at number three, going on to achieve Gold status.

On 27 September 2001, the group announced that they would be splitting.{{cite news|url=http://www.dotmusic.com/artists/Five/news/September2001/news22080.asp|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020630195536/http://www.dotmusic.com/artists/Five/news/September2001/news22080.asp |archive-date=30 June 2002 |title=Five Over and Out|publisher=dotmusic|date=27 September 2001}} On 22 October, the group released their final single from Kingsize, a double A-side single with "Closer to Me" and "Rock the Party".{{cite news|url=http://www.dotmusic.com/artists/Five/news/October2001/news22104.asp|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020612081021/http://www.dotmusic.com/artists/Five/news/October2001/news22104.asp |archive-date=12 June 2002 |title=Five Get Back Together|publisher=dotmusic|date=1 October 2001}} On 19 November, Greatest Hits was released with 15 past hits, two remixes and one new song.

=2006–2007: First reunion=

On 17 September 2006, an announcement was made via Five's official Myspace page that a press conference was to be held at The Scala in central London on 27 September.{{cn|date=January 2022}} After a venue change due to a shooting at The Scala, the conference was moved to the Bar Academy Islington. It was confirmed at the press conference that four of the five members would be reuniting (Conlon now being committed to his Sony deal). Five recorded new material for what was to be their fourth studio album, working with Guy Chambers, Swedish producer/songwriter Anders Bagge, and French DJs Trak Invaders. They also planned to tour in 2007.{{cite web |work=MTV.co.uk |title=5ive: "we're gay" |url=https://www.mtv.co.uk/news/xr097z/5ive-were-gay |access-date=14 March 2017}} By January 2007, Five had completed half of their album and were looking to be signed to a record label with new manager, Richard Beck, who also secured an MTV documentary series titled Five - The Revive. The album was expected to be released within the next few months.{{cite web |title=Official Myspace profile |work=Message from Five |url=http://warringtonwarrior.com/5/gossip07.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210308224022/http://www.warringtonwarrior.com/5/gossip07.html |url-status=usurped |archive-date=8 March 2021 |access-date=26 January 2007 }} On 8 March 2007, Five premiered one-minute clips of three brand new songs via their MySpace page.
