Triple 8


Triple 8 were a five-piece then four-piece British boy band, who were signed to Polydor Records and Osmosis Records. The group were promoted as the British equivalent of NSYNC, and rivals to manufactured boy bands such as Westlife and A1.
The group had three successful singles: "Knockout" "Give Me a Reason" "Good2Go", which charted at number 8,9 & 2 respectively in the UK Singles Chart. The group parted company with their record label polydor in 2003, leaving their album, Heavy W8, unreleased which in 2020 will be renamed and in turn re-released. In 2004, they reformed with new member Stewart Macintosh, and released a third single, "Good 2 Go", which reached number 2 UK Indie chart. McIntosh replaced Iain James Farquharson.
