Which British girl group recorded “Whole Again,” a 2001 UK number-one single?

British girl group Atomic Kitten recorded “Whole Again,” a 2001 UK number-one single.

“Whole Again” was released on January 29, 2001, and became Atomic Kitten’s first UK number-one single. The song was written by Andy McCluskey, Stuart Kershaw, and former Atomic Kitten member Heidi Range, alongside the group’s original members. It is known for its polished pop production and prominent string arrangement.

The best-known recording features Natasha Hamilton, Liz McClarnon, and Jenny Frost. Frost replaced Kerry Katona in the lineup before the single’s major success. This change can cause confusion when older descriptions of Atomic Kitten mention Katona as a founding member.

“Whole Again” topped the UK Singles Chart for four weeks. It also reached number one in several other countries and became one of the group’s signature songs. Atomic Kitten followed it with further hits including “Eternal Flame” and “The Tide Is High (Get the Feeling).”
