The British boy band Five released its debut studio album, Five, in 1998.
The self-titled album was issued by BMG and became a major commercial success in the United Kingdom. It included the singles “Slam Dunk (Da Funk),” “When the Lights Go Out,” “Got the Feelin’,” and “Everybody Get Up.”
Five presented a more energetic, dance-oriented style than many vocal groups of the era. The album’s success helped make the band one of the notable British pop acts of the late 1990s.
The title can create an easy mix-up: Five is both the band’s name and the album’s title. The question asks for the release year of the studio album, not the year the group formed or the year of a particular single.
