Not only were you the first to believe, but you were right to believe! 'Cause the last two years have had a1 stamped all over them!

Thanks to their fun-fuelled brand of infectious pop, BEN, CHRISTIAN, MARK and PAUL have given the charts the kind of endorphin rush people ride on rollercoasters for, scoring themselves a bunch of Top-Ten UK singles with "Be The First To Believe", "Summertime Of Our Lives", the double A-sided "Everytime/Ready or Not" and their amazing cover of A-ha's "Take On Me" which has given them their very first number one.

You should know the a1 story by now, but if you don't - shame on you! - here's MARK with a little reminder: "Our managers spent nearly three years putting a1 together and they only chose one of us through an audition. I've worked with other bands and it's so difficult to find four people with the same dedication and an equal amount of talent."

The biggest Disney fan since Walt, MARK has played the piano since he was two, toured with his mum and dad's covers band all over the world and scooped a best newcomer award at an international song festival in Rumania when he was 15.
