A1 is a British/Norwegian boy band which was originally made up of Mark Read, Paul Marazzi, Ben Adams and Christian Ingebrigtsen. Their first single, "Be the First to Believe", entered the UK singles chart at #6 in early 1999. They had relative success in the charts with two number #1s and eight top 10 hits. Adding to this they also won a BRIT Award for "British Breakthrough Act" in 2001. They were formed by band manager Tim Byrne, who also formed Steps. A1's journey came to an end when original member Paul Marazzi left in 2002 and the band subsequently decided to split.

In August 2009 they announced that they would reform, albeit without Marazzi, for a series of concerts in Oslo in December 2009 at the Christiania Theatre. Since their comeback they have already released three new singles, "Take You Home", "Don't Wanna Lose You Again" and "In Love And I Hate It". Their new album called Waiting For Daylight was released on 11 October 2010. The band have currently sold 3 million records worldwide.
