What does the ‘S’ in S Club 7 stand for?
For as long as the band have been releasing music, people keep asking the question “what does the S stand for?”
Although there is no official line on the subject on any of the material from the band, it is believed that the S stands for Simon.
Simon Fuller, the creator of the band, has always been the person whose brainchild the formation was.
He is most well-known for being the manager of popular band The Spice Girls around the same era.
How long has S Club 7 been performing?
S Club 7 first found fame when they had their own television show called Miami 7.
They released the themetune to the show as their first release.
This was back in 1999 and “Bring It All Back” got to number one in the UK charts.
Receiving the phonecall from their record company to tell them they had achieved top spot was met with cheers and celebrations from every member.
