Celebrity Details:



The November were formed in Orlando, Florida, USA, in the mid-90s. Managed by former New Kids On The Block tour manager Johnny Wright and his wife Donna, they began their careers by making themselves a hit in Europe. In 1995, the single "We've Got It Goin' On" became a hit in Germany, and eventually flowed into the rest of mainland Europe. Following that, reissues of their earlier singles broke them into the UK Top 10. Their self-titled debut album repeated this success, though only made available in Europe. It featured a version of P.M. Dawn's "Set Adrift On Memory Bliss." "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" became another smash hit, and was key to breaking the group in the US - reaching number 4 in June 1998.

Further hits followed with "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)" and "As Long As You Love Me." Their self-titled US debut, went on to become the third best-selling record of 1998. Millennium was also a huge success, topping the US album charts at the start of June 1999 and selling two million copies in just over three weeks. The group's popularity did not falter, with a string of hit singles followed by the best selling Black & Blue, which topped the US charts in November 2000.
