Peter Andre (birth name:
Peter James Andréa) is a male singer born in the UK, but was
raised in Australia, and is of Cypriot decent. The UK is where he's
finding the most success. At first he was on the Australian soap opera
Neighbours before turning to music, the show spawning many other actor/actress
turned singers such as Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, Natalie Imbruglia,
Holly Valance and Delta Goodrem.
In the UK he began his music career in 1996, first having a top 20
single called "Only One", reaching number #16, but then
gained massive success with the song "Mysterious Girl" (featuring
Bubbler Ranx), reaching #2 in the UK singles chart. He then had a
#1 album "Natural", and two #1 singles "Flava"
and "I Feel You". However, after attempting to transform
in to an R&B artist rather than a pop artist, and releasing a
few more singles, he didn't have as much success as previously, with
his second album, "Time", only reaching #28. In 1998 he
released his last single (that was "Kiss The Girl" which
reached #9, his last top 10 hit for a couple of years, and it was
on the soundtrack to Disney's The Little Mermaid) before taking a
long break from the charts.
During this break, he went back to his birthtown of Cyprus, and no
one had heard from him until very recently, being on the British reality
TV series I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!, and flirting with
model Jordan. He then re-released his breakthrough hit "Mysterious
Girl" in 2004, finally reaching #1 after 8 long years since the
original breakthrough release of the song (it had actually been released
once before the breakthrough, but with very little success reaching
#53 in 1995 without the rapping of Bubbler Ranx). It had also been
6 years since his last chart appearance. To prove the song, his success
and his attempts to resurrect a music career were not a one hit wonder
this time around, he released a new song "Insania", which
was another big hit, reaching #3 in the UK in June 2004. A new album,
titled "The Long Road Back", was also released that month,
however only reaching #44. |
