London, United Kingdom (1997 – 2004, 2008 – present)

Atomic Kitten was formed in 1997 in London, United Kingdom by Andy McCluskey of ’80s band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and included Heidi Range in the original line-up, along with Liz McClarnon, Natasha Hamilton and Kerry Katona. Heidi left the group and was only featured on the demo recordings. In 2001 Heidi joined the Sugababes.

The group was first called “Honeyhead” but later renamed itself to “Automatic Kittens”, the name of the label of its designer, and abbreviated to “Atomic Kitten.”

The group’s first single “Right Now” debuted in December of 1999 and ended up reaching the British top 10. After the initial success Atomic Kitten embarked upon an Asian tour during which they scored their first hit with “Cradle”. The album, also titled Right Now, was first released in Japan on March 16, 2000 and subsequently released in the United Kingdom on May 21, 2000 with a slightly modified track list.

Right Now was a modest success upon first release. Initially there were no plans to focus on the global market. The record label was even considering dropping them because of limited success, however they persuaded Innocent Records to record one more single. This one single changed the career of Atomic Kitten because they scored their first number-one hit in the UK in 2001 with “Whole Again”. The song and video for “Whole Again” originally featured Kerry Katona however she left the group several days prior to the number-one position because of her pregnancy. The single was remade when Jenny Frost (formerly of UK girl group Precious) was added to the line-up as Kerry’s replacement.
