Its debut single, “House of Love”, appeared in 1992, followed by the 1993 debut album Walthamstow. That album reached No. 1 on the UK Official Albums Chart and included “Deep” and “It’s Alright” among its best-known tracks.

The second studio album, Steam (1994), featured “Around the World”, “Steam”, “Let It Rain” and “Stay Another Day”. The latter spent five weeks at No. 1 in the UK and became the 1994 Christmas chart-topper. East 17 followed with Up All Night in 1995, continuing to blend pop hooks with dance and R&B sounds. The group’s 1996 collaboration with Gabrielle, “If You Ever”, also reached No. 2 in the UK.
