About East 17

The group has achieved eighteen top-20 singles and four top-10 albums, and they were one of the UK's most popular boy bands during the early to mid-1990s, aided by strong tabloid interest in their 'bad boy' image, compared to the 'clean-cut' image of rivals Take That. Their style blended pop and hip hop in songs such as "House of Love" and "Let It Rain". East 17 have sold over 18 million albums worldwide and according to the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), they have been certified with sales of 1.8 million albums and 2.6 million singles in the UK.[1] Their biggest hit, "Stay Another Day", was the UK Christmas number one in 1994. The group continues today under the lineup of Terry Coldwell, Joe Livermore, and former Artful Dodger collaborator Robbie Craig.
