Here's a sneak preview of our very own questions being answered:
Hi FFR! Congratulations on your charts success, I have two questions for you. Did you celebrate getting to No2 and did you enjoy performing on Top Of The Pops? Mike, Vienna, Austria
Lucy - We did celebrate. We had a party and all our family and friends came. Top Of The Pops was indescribable.
Ria - Top Of The Pops was amazing, because it's the big one. It was quite nerve racking as we did it all live. It was amazing, and still doesn't seem real.
Martin - It was the best experience of my life, I've dreamed about doing it since I was really young. I can't wait to watch it back.
Dead Or Alive's long awaited compilation of promo videos will finally be released on DVD on July 7th. It will feature all official videos plus several rare TV performances as well as the Rip It Up concert taped in Japan.

S Club 8's latest single Fool No More has once again been co-written and produced by Jewels & Stone. It's a fantastic retro sounding 80s inspired disco stomper and there are also great mixes by Almighty & Hit Squad. Unfortunately those remixes don't make it on the commercial CDs (yet).
