In 2004, Blue came out with their ‘best of’ set which also featured new singles. The high-profile duets continued with the group’s third album as the foursome worked with Steve Wonder on a cover version of his hit single, ‘Signed, Sealed, Delivered’. They matched that success with their single, ‘Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word’ with Elton John. With the release of their second album, One Love, in 2002, Blue nabbed themselves the top spot on the UK albums chart. The group’s debut album included more Top 10 singles like ‘Fly By’ and a mix of pop ballads and up-tempo numbers. The song made its way into the Top 10 in the UK charts in 2001. The group landed a recording contract with Innocent Records and began working with songwriting teams before the release of their debut single, ‘All Rise’. Working alongside manager Daniel Glatman, the trio held auditions for a fourth member which eventually went to Ryan’s then-flatmate Simon Webbe. Costa later formed his own group with friend Duncan James and invited Ryan to join them. Ryan was selected for the group but Costa was not, but after the group failed to take off, Ryan and Costa remained friends. In 1999, Lee Ryan and Antony Costa met as teenagers when auditioning for a segment on ITV’s This Morning which saw Simon Cowell looking to form the next big British boy band. Blue fans rejoice as you’ll get to hear all the boy band's biggest hits with support from Atomic Kitten. They’re back and celebrating their 20th anniversary with a huge arena tour around the UK.
