a1 is an Anglo-Scandinavian boyband whose first single, “Be the First to Believe”, was released in 1999. The band consists of Mark Read, Ben Adams and Christian Ingebrigtsen.
The group’s publicity mainly focuses on the fact that they write the majority of their own songs and the three band members also play their own instruments.
In 2000, they achieved their two number one singles in the UK; a cover of a-ha’s 1985 single “Take on Me” and “Same Old Brand New You”.
After they released their third album “Make It Good”, Paul Marrazzi left the band for personal reasons and the group subsequently split. They released a “Best Of” album in 2004 which featured their singles and two unreleased studio recordings.
In April 2005 Ben Adams released his solo single “Sorry” which reached number 18 in the UK singles chart. On 2nd January 2009, Ben entered the Celebrity Big Brother house for the UK programme on Channel 4, coming an eventual fourth behind Verne Troyer, Coolio, Terry Christian and Ulrika Jonnson.
In August 2009, it was announced that a1 had reunited (without Paul) for a series of reunion shows in Norway to celebrate their ten-year anniversary.
Their first new single “Take You Home” in stores from November 2009 and is the official single for Norwegian Red Nose Day 2009 and is a charity for Save The Children. Be seen live on TV3 (Norway) Rød nese dagen show 29.11.09.

I loved them so much when I was like 16. Its funny, I can't even listen to them at all. Five and East 17 are fine, even Steps, but I just cannot listen to them anymore. Strange

I Discover the band just one year ago... "Caught in the Middle" are my favorite... amazing sound and lyrics... other ones like "Same Old Brand New You" and "Everytime" are great too! It was very sad to discover that they already broke up!

I don't think they are, Christian is doing so well in Norway and i don't think Paul wants to come back to fame =( when Ben was on Big Broher though, my first thought was REUNION!!! most stars usualy go on that when desperate to get back into the spotlight!! He was popular enough - they should defo reform!!
