Five (5ive)
This British boy band was designed to be the male Spice Girls, and even had Simon Cowell manage their career. They were a little more street than the average boy band, with two rappers in the group. Their debut single “Slam dunk (Da Funk) ” was chosen as the NBA theme song in 1997, though the song didn’t chart. The next year, 5ive would release ”When The Lights Go Out,” from their debut album. The song cracked the top 10 on Billboard. Their single ”If Ya Gettin’ Down” from their sophomore release also became an international hit, but the members of 5ive butted heads with each other and Simon Cowell, and decided to call it quits. They reunited in 2006 and 2012 albeit with only 4 members. Kinda makes the whole band name a little awkward, doesn’t it?
Check out what the band looks like now!
