It reached No2 in the UK and entered the top 10 in Ireland, New Zealand, Australia and Denmark.
In total they achieved seven UK top ten hits including Why, One Night Stand, B With Me, Roll On and Can't Get It Back.

Alesha was known as a rapper during her time in the band, but branched out into a solo career when the group split.
She released two singles, but they didn’t achieve the same kind of success as Mis-Teeq’s work, and she was swiftly dropped by her record label.
However, her win on Strictly Come Dancing served to revitalise Alesha’s music career.
Single The Boy Does Nothing sold one million copies worldwide while 2008 album The Alesha Show went platinum, and she toured the UK as a solo act.

She was previously married to MC Harvey, from English rap group So Solid Crew.
The two had dated since 2000 and got married in 2005, but divorced in 2006 after he had an affair with Pop Idol star Javine.
