== History ==
Worlds Apart released their first album in the UK and after a number of concert tours and regular television appearances, the band became hugely popular in Europe, where they signed a record deal with [[EMI]].

Steve Hart became lead singer and songwriter for the band. After winning Best Newcomers at the prestigious Bravo Supershow, Worlds Apart quickly became the biggest boyband in France and were regularly supported by the [[Backstreet Boys]] and [[NSync]]. Worlds Aparts success continued all through Europe, the Middle East, South America and Asia. Due to their massive success, Worlds Apart represented France in the World Music Awards and also broke merchandise records in every concert hall in the country in the biggest ever French tour. With number one singles and albums under their belt the band sold well over 10 million records.
Worlds Apart's single "Baby Come Back" became the Nº. 1 airplay hit in Germany and Russia. The song was used as the theme on Brazils biggest TV soap.

The band undertook two tours of the Far East, covering Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Philippines, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore.

In Germany the band was featured on national phone cards and their own brand of 'Capri-Sonne' orange juice was on sale in supermarkets. In France the band featured in the movie ''[[Les Visiteurs 2]]'', and they released songs in Spanish, French, German and even Polish. Worlds Apart's success led to them filming 26 music videos and 7 long-form video releases and the sale of 138 different types of commercially released Worlds-Apart products including such varied items as swimwear, sunglasses, bubblegum, lamps, bedlinen, footwear, motorbikes, cameras, luggage, watches, jewellery, etc. Worlds Apart photo machines and sticker machines were even positioned at airports and train stations. The biggest European candy manufacturer HARIBO produced jellied sweets in the shape of the band's members' heads.
