S Club 7's Big Break
S Club 7 began working on their first album and also on a TV series for Britain's BBC called Miami 7. The show is about the adventures of an up-and-coming music group living in Florida. In 1999 they released their debut album in England called S Club (released in the US in 2000) and the first song Bringing It All Back hit the top of the charts. Around the same time the TV show Miami 7 became the top kids' show in the UK. The show hit the US on the Fox Family Channel in the fall of 1999 and changed its name to S Club 7 in Miami. S Club 7 put out its second album called 7 in the UK, but it wasn't available in the US until 2001. In 2002, S Club 7 released its third album, Don't Stop Movin'. Shortly after the release of the third album, Paul Cattermole left S Club 7. The group changed their name to S Club for a while but broke up in May of 2003.
