Editor's note

Five's dance-pop hits defined late-90s UK boy bands

The group behind 'If Ya Gettin' Down' and 'Keep On Movin'' blended pop energy with R&B touches.

For the pure dance-pop rush, 'If Ya Gettin' Down' still works. 'Keep On Movin'' captures their later, more soulful side.

Five arrived right when UK boy bands were peaking, and their debut single 'Slam Dunk (Da Funk)' went straight to number one. Songs like 'If Ya Gettin' Down' and 'Everybody Get Up' became anthems for a young audience that wanted danceable pop. Later tracks like 'Keep On Movin'' and 'When The Lights Go Out' showed they could handle smoother R&B material too.

They formed in 1997 with five members and quickly scored a UK number one with 'Slam Dunk (Da Funk)'. A 1998 lip-sync accusation on Top of the Pops brought tabloid attention alongside their hits. By the time of albums like 'Invincible', their sound had shifted toward more R&B-influenced tracks.

Archive material and source history

Five formed in 1997 with Sean Conlon, Scott Robinson, Ritchie Neville, J Brown, and Abs Breen. Their debut single 'Slam Dunk (Da Funk)' went to number one in the UK, and they followed it with dance-pop tracks like 'If Ya Gettin' Down' and 'Everybody Get Up' that became hits for a young audience.

In 1998, the band was accused of lip-syncing during a BBC Top of the Pops performance, which drew criticism. Their personal lives and internal tensions also received tabloid coverage around that time.

They released albums including '5ive' and 'Invincible', and songs like 'Keep On Movin'' and 'When The Lights Go Out' showed a shift toward R&B influences later on.
