Their debut single, ‘I Don’t Want a Lover’, made the UK Top Ten and the US Top 100. Since then, the band have sold over 40 million records. Their tenth studio album, Hi, was released in May 2021 and became their highest-charting album in the UK since 1999’s The Hush, reaching number three on the UK albums chart. 

Sharleen has also released two solo records, Melody and The Movie Songbook. Born and raised in Scotland, Sharleen discovered music partly through her parents’ record collection, which included Buddy Holly, the Everly Brothers and Elvis Presley. Though she wasn’t alive at the same time as Buddy Holly, his songs have always resonated with her.
