Scandal'us (or Scandal'Us) were the winners of the Australian Popstars 2 in 2001 (successors of Bardot, the winners of the first Australian Popstars in 2000). They were the first group to have a debut single debut at #1 on the Australia ARIAnet Singles Chart and keep it there for three weeks (the single in question is "Me Myself & I"). Then they released a second single, "Make Me Crazy", which only reached #30. They also released the album, Startin' Somethin', which debuted and peaked at #2 on the ARIAnet Albums Chart.

[edit] Solo releases
Tamara Jaber has released two solo singles, "Ooh Aah" in April 2005, which peaked at #13 on the ARIAnet singles chart, and "Hard For Me" in August 2005. Jaber is the first and only artist to be signed to King Kyle Records, which is owned by her fiance, Kyle Sandilands (from the Kyle & Jackie O radio program, MTV and Australian Idol). Sandilands has been publicly criticised in regards to a conflict of interest for "plugging" her debut single on his radio show.
Around 2003, Jason Bird had recorded a single to be distributed through his dance workshop site, and performed on Channel Nine's "Mornings With Kerri-Anne" show.
