Biography
Girl Thing were formed in 1999. They are most famous for their song "Last One Standing", written and produced by the Steelworks production team of Tim Lever, Mike Percy and Eliot Kennedy, which peaked at number 8 in the UK Singles Chart in July 2000.[1] It also made the Australian top 15, where it achieved gold sales.
After the failure of their second single "Girls on Top", which reached number 25,[1] the album release was cancelled in Britain. It was, however, still released in Australia, New Zealand, India and Japan. The band also recorded the songs "Young, Free & Happy", "Extraordinary Love", "Summer Daze", "If That's What It Takes", "Last Goodbye" and "You Can Run But You Can't Hide". The band recorded the Alison Clarkson (aka Betty Boo, now in WigWam) co-written song, "Pure and Simple", before ITV's Popstars winners Hear'Say.
Since splitting up on 2001, two members have found fame: Jodi Albert appeared on Hollyoaks before joining short-lived girl group Wonderland, and Michelle Barber worked as a presenter on Nickelodeon. In July 2007, Anika Bostelaar released a single called "King of the Dancefloor" under the name 'Kiana'. She also passed the audition in the Dutch-Flemish TV program 'K2 zoekt K3'.
On 27 December 2013, it was announced that Girl Thing were among the bands taking part in the 2014 series of ITV2's The Big Reunion.
