S Club 7 Take Record Of The Year Title

S Club 7 have picked up the Record of the Year 2001 award. The group came from behind to fend off Blue to take the crown. Their single, Don’t Stop Movin’ gives yet more success for Bradley, Jon, Paul, Hannah, Rachel, Jo and Tina.

In a Eurovision-style voting system, the shortlisted bands had to wait for votes to be announced from 14 television regions and the internet in the annual competition sponsored by Britannia Music. S Club were among 10 bands shortlisted. As well as beating Blue, and their single All Rise, in to second place, they also saw off favourite Kylie Minogue, whose Can’t Get You Out Of My Head could only get her into third spot.

The live event was staged at the London Television Centre, hosted by Ant and Dec. A spokeswoman for the event organisers said: “It has been a great night and all the audience and bands have really enjoyed themselves.”
