"Whole Once again" is a song recorded by British girl grouping Atomic Kitten for their debut studio anthology, Right At present (2000). It was co-written past Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Night members and Atomic Kitten founders Andy McCluskey and Stuart Kershaw, along with Jem Godfrey and Nib Padley, with production helmed by McCluskey and Kershaw under their production moniker Engine. Godfrey and Padley are credited as additional producers.
Information technology is the group's biggest selling single to date and was the final unmarried to feature founding member Kerry Katona, who left the group midway through promoting the single. "Whole Once again" was the first single released from the album in Europe and South Africa. It was a massive success, reaching number one in several countries and selling over a million copies in the UK alone.[one]
The iv writers were nominated for the Ivor Novello Award for excellence in songwriting,[2] and Billboard ranked the track number 96 on their list of the "100 Greatest Girl Grouping Songs of All Fourth dimension".[three] Multiple artists, including OMD, accept covered the song. Post-obit the deviation of Katona, she was replaced a few days later by Jenny Frost of fellow English girl group Precious, simply later the single topped the Great britain Singles Chart. As a event, the music video was reshot and Frost's vocals appeared on the reissue of Right Now.
Background [edit]
"Whole Once more" was written and produced by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark members and Atomic Kitten founders Andy McCluskey and Stuart Kershaw.[4] A mid-tempo carol that combines a strolling beat out and 1-note string crescendos,[5] it initially featured all lines spoken by Kerry Katona with only the chorus sung by Liz McClarnon and Natasha Hamilton.[five] While this version was included on the Japanese version of Atomic Kitten's debut album Right Now (2000), Innocent Records A&R manager Hugh Goldsmith felt that it was still a one-half‑finished vocal and asked songwriters and producers Jem Godfrey and Bill Padley to re-write it for the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland version of the anthology.[6] With the chorus being already there, Godfrey and Padley decided on writing a melody for the verses and changed virtually of the chords in "Whole Again," but were non able to alter its key.[6] Godfrey afterwards described the process as "quite hard, considering the chorus of the song was so hooky that the verse had to pb up to it only non overshadow it, which is why it concluded up sounding as depression as it does. Nosotros very carefully worked out what the vocal range of the Kittens was, because the last thing nosotros wanted was to write a melody that was fantastic but that they wouldn't be able to sing."[half-dozen]
Recording of the new verses took place at Godfrey and Padley's West Hampstead music studio.[vi] A jerky thing due to the band'due south hectic schedule at that time, much of the vocals were recorded inside 30 minutes, with McClarnon and Hamilton each singing the whole song twice simply.[6] Likewise as recording the new vocals, Godfrey and Padley also took over the job of producing "Whole Once again," although they were careful to preserve the features of McCluskey and Kershaw'due south original version, including Katona'due south spoken bit in the middle.[6] While the duo kept much of the "underwater organ sound" from the original session, they were forced to replay other elements and added a couple of additional loops from the sample albums Vinylistics three and Advanced Orchestra to the track.[half-dozen] Padley and singer friend Angie Giles also provided vocals for the gospel role about the end of the vocal for which the producers tracked near forty vocals and put several delays and effects on it to sound like a choir.[six] While Innocent Records liked their version, they asked Godfrey and Padley to re-tape McClarnon and Hamilton's vocals at to the lowest degree two more times, though they eventually decided on using the original vocals that had been recorded in Due west Hampstead in the finish.[six]
Release [edit]
While Innocent Records planned to release "Whole Once again" as Atomic Kitten's fourth single at times, it was eventually replaced by "Follow Me" to lead the UK release of parent album Correct Now.[6] Post-obit the commercial underperformance of both "Follow Me" and the initial release of the album,[7] Atomic Kitten persuaded their label to release "Whole Again" as a final-ditch attempt to keep their record deal.[6] During promotion for the single, Katona announced her pregnancy and subsequent decision to leave the grouping. With the single's release imminent, the group opted to recruit Jenny Frost, previously a fellow member of fellow British girl group Precious, as a replacement and continued their promotional campaign. The version with Jenny Frost'due south spoken word portion replaced the original version for radio airplay, and it was subsequently issued as a bonus runway on international versions of the group's second anthology, Feels And then Good.[8]
Chart functioning [edit]
The single debuted at number i in the United kingdom with first-calendar week sales of 69,286 copies,[ix] staying atop the chart for iv weeks and increasing in sales during every week that it was at number one.[10] [xi] It has since gone on to sell over 1,000,000 copies in the UK alone.[12] It is the fourth best-selling single by a girl group of all time, after "Wannabe" and "2 Become 1" past the Spice Girls and "Never Ever" by All Saints.[10] It too became the 13th overall best-selling single of the 2000s decade.[13] Every bit of November 2016, it remains the biggest-selling song of the 21st century in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland by a daughter band.[14]
In Commonwealth of australia, "Whole Again" peaked at number two on the ARIA Singles Chart, being certified double platinum for shipments of over 140,000 copies.[15] [sixteen] The single was also released in Germany and New Zealand, where it secured the number-1 position for six consecutive weeks in both countries.[17] [18] In Frg, the single was certified platinum for shipments exceeding 500,000, while in New Zealand, information technology was certified double platinum, denoting sales of over twenty,000.[19] [20] It additionally peaked atop the charts of Austria, Ireland, and the Netherlands, as well as the Eurochart Hot 100.[21] [22] [23] [24] In Denmark, Flanders, Romania, Kingdom of spain, Sweden, and Switzerland, it entered the top 20.[25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [xxx]
Music video [edit]
The music video for "Whole Once more" was filmed on a very small budget due to the commercial failure of previous single "Follow Me". It features the Kittens singing in front of a plain white groundwork—similar to the video for the Sugababes' debut single, "Overload".[10] The original version of the video includes Kerry Katona, who had left the group just before the song's release. Much of the video was subsequently reshot to feature new member Jenny Frost.[31]
As a result of the unmarried'south huge success in many international markets, a second music video was filmed for the U.S. release in May 2001 with a much larger budget.

Andy McCluskey, ane of the song's original songwriters, said about England fans adapting information technology into i of their chants, "The Kittens are really chuffed and are actually considering remaking the single with the England lyrics. Any time something you've created becomes widely accepted is humbling and touching. I wonder who made that first connection by starting to sing it, and suddenly everyone was doing information technology."[66] During the 2018 World Cup before England's quarterfinal against Sweden, which England won 2–0, Natasha Hamilton shared a video of herself on Twitter singing the alternating lyrics.[67]
