The band were signed to Simon Cowell under BMG Records UK and managed by Louis Walsh who also appeared as a judge on the show. Their first single 'Whole lot of Lovin' is currently the fastest and third biggest selling single in Irish history. ==Career== Sinéad Sheppard, Emma O'Driscoll, Kyle Anderson, Sarah Keating, Andy Orr and Liam McKenna were the winners of the show who earned a place in Six. Nadine Coyle was originally selected to be in the band, however was disqualified after it became clear she had lied about her age and that she was only sixteen years old. She was replaced by Keating. The members of Six released their first single, "Whole Lotta Lovin'" a cover of the 1975 Guys 'n' Dolls UK #2, in February 2002. The single did very well, selling over 160,000 copies in its first week of sale.

During August 2002, Six went on an Irish tour. The group disbanded in early 2003. Following 'Popstars' being broadcast in New Zealand, Norway and South Africa, their debut single also charted in these countries, peaking at number six in New Zealand, reaching the top 5 in Norway, Poland and Iceland, and peaking at number two in Sweden. After the tour, Six's album ''This Is It'' was released and debuted at number seven on the Irish charts. Two songs from this album have been covered on the debut album by Same Difference. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Six (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
