Their debut album, All Saints, was released in 1997 with the first single "I Know Where It's At" reaching #4 on the UK charts. The next single, "Never Ever", launched All Saints as stars, selling over two million copies in the United Kingdom also. They later went on to release their second full length studio album, Saints & Sinners in 2000.
The band scored a total of five #1 singles. They split acrimoniously in 2001 after much speculation and rumour. Nicole and Natalie went on to form the duo Appleton, whilst Melanie and Shaznay have also gone on to enjoy (moderate) solo success.
On January 24, 2006 it was announced that the band had reformed. All Saints had signed a deal with Parlophone Records and their comeback single for the label, 'Rock Steady' was a considerable commercial success, charting at number 2. However, 'Studio 1', their third album peaked at a disappointing number 40 in the UK chart.
A further single - 'Chick Fit' - was released via download only, and the group left Parlophone shortly after in 2009.
In November 2013, it was announced that the group would be reforming to support the Backstreet Boys for five dates across the UK and Ireland in 2014.
"We are really looking forward to performing together as special guests of the Backstreet Boys," the group said in a statement.
All Saints will released their fourth studio album entitled Red Flag on 8 April 2016. The lead single from the album, "One Strike", was released on 26 February 2016.

This is actually one of my favorite tracks from the album... 💜
MsMilano
This song is so quintessentially 90s.
So wholesome
ERPY
Amazing! I love them and the 90's
Ravishing Beast
This is a really good song, peppy and uplifting. All Saints just couldn't get out from under the Spice Girls' shadow and it's a shame.
C P
In a way, I do like All Saints to be considered a hidden gem during the girl groups in the 90s.
They had that laid backed/chill kind of vibe to them.

Campbell DeSousa
This song is such a banger. It's too bad the USA didn't appreciate the potential of a Fatback band sample as much as the UK? Or did this not pop off there either
Support4MySingers
This is the only song that does not fit the album! The albums really smooth RNB and this song always stood out like a sore thumb!
Ravishing Beast
Sore thumb? It's the best song on the album!
Kerron Walker
they actually recorded this song after there second line up change... This song was originally recorded in 1995 with there original line up when there was only 3 of them and it has more r&b roots unlike this one which us more of the pop sound they eventually started to pursue... I actually like both versions of the song
