Although we were too busy back then to really enjoy it because we were busy thinking about what we were going to do next. I had a lot of sleepless nights, so in the end, when it did well, it was a vindication. I was worried because we had promised everyone that we would write this excellent debut album and it was challenging to get it right. I think we beat either Simply Red or Boyzone to get to number one. But when we found out we were number one – it was pretty amazing. We were always on the A list on Radio One and Radio Two, and we were on the front cover of NME and Melody Maker, and we were on Top of the Pops. Our manager was worried that we might be getting played too much on the radio that people will have heard the songs too many times and wouldn't want to buy the album – it was that crazy. At one stage, we were on the radio too much. We had done well with the EP’s before the album, and we were on the radio all the time. The album achieved critical acclaim and success in terms of sales, going gold on its first day of release, becoming one of the fastest-ever-selling debut albums by a British artist. Success for Embrace seemed to happen quickly. It makes me feel old thinking about it, although I still have my own hair and teeth. It certainly doesn’t seem like twenty-one years. We have had the same band members since the very beginning. Only a couple of groups have been together as long as we have who haven’t lost a member or someone has died. We have had a hell of a career, and also we are the same five people in the band.
