Hear'Say were a British pop group. They were created through the
ITV reality TV show
Popstars in February 2001, the first UK series of the international
Popstars franchise. The group, who were signed to
Polydor Records, originally consisted of
Danny Foster,
Myleene Klass,
Kym Marsh,
Suzanne Shaw, and
Noel Sullivan. Sullivan is originally from
Cardiff,
Wales and Marsh is from
Merseyside, but the other members originate from
London,
England. Hear'Say achieved instant fame, breaking chart records with their debut single "
Pure and Simple" and the album
Popstars. However, their second album failed to match this success.
