S Club 7 (later re-named S Club) were a successful British pop group created by former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller, who rose to fame via their own BBC television programme.

The programme was a sitcom based around the band members (who played themselves) living together and trying to become famous. The programme changed its name to reflect the location it was set in: Miami 7, LA 7, Hollywood 7, and finally Viva S Club, set in Spain. During each episode, the members would perform one of the songs from their current album. It was created and partially written by Kim Fuller, who also created and wrote the Spice Girls' movie. They also made a hit with their 2003 film, Seeing Double.
The show also became a big hit in the United States, where it originally aired on Fox Family and later on ABC Family. The series were retitled S Club 7 in Miami, S Club 7 in L.A., S Club 7 in Hollywood and Viva S Club.
The three male members of S Club 7 were arrested in London after being found with a small ammount of cannabis on March 20, 2001[1]. The three individuals were cautioned by police at Charing Cross police station but released without charge.
In March 2002, Paul Cattermole, the oldest male member of the band, announced he was leaving to join Skua, a nu metal band formed by his school-friends, though he remained with S Club 7 until June and continued to date fellow member Hannah Spearritt. The remaining six members stayed together under the name S Club until the release of their movie Seeing Double in April 2003, disbanding later the same month.
Hannah Spearitt stared in two movies, Agent Cody Banks 2:Destination London and The Seed of Chucky.
Rachel Stevens has landed a £1,000,000 solo record deal with Polydor Records. She released her first single which debuted at #2, her debut album, and her second single all in 2003. In 2004 came her next 2 singles, and in 2005 came in her sophomore album and 3rd,4th and 5th single. She has also won 9 awards. Her Third album will also be released in 2006 and is currently working on it. She has also got a US record deal and will debut there in March tentatively
In the United States the band was merely a one hit wonder with the song Never Had a Dream Come True.
A contest asking for children to join S Club 7 during a performance at Wembley arena resulted in 9 children forming another band, originally called S Club Juniors. One of them - Connor - left this band early but the others keep the S Club brand alive until 2004 under the name of S Club 8. They also had a small role in 'Viva S Club'. Their hits include: One Step Closer, Automatic High, New Direction, Puppy Love (a cover), Fool No More, and Sundown.
