Make It Good A1's third album is on the way and about time too!!! But it has been worth the wait. The album is fantastic as I have all the tracks before release! There are a mixture of songs on there. My personal fave's are "Cherish this love" written and sung by Ben. Also "When Im Missing You"  and "One Last Song." These are lovely love songs.

3. Here Comes The Rain
4. When Im Missing You

13. One Last Song
14. Let It Out
 

The 3rd album is due to be released on the 27th of May. There has been a lot of speculation on the name of the album. First we thought it was going to be named "Hurrah" but now it looks like it's simply going to be "Make It Good." Anyway lads you better make this album good! After all this waiting! But as it's by the lads its bound to be a sure-fire hit!!!
 
A1's new single Make It Good is due to be released on the 13th Of May so remember guys to go and buy it!!! This song is written by Mark and Christian. The video is fantastic but very simple. For this video a1 wanted to keep it simple so the viewers would concentrate more on the songs than the special effects.
 
A1 have picked up an award for Best Video at the Capital FM awards for the video No More! Well Done Guys!!!
 
Well Done to the lads! They scored a number 2 with Caught In The Middle. Unfortunately not beating Enrique's Hero to the number 1 spot. But still congratulations! The B sides were brilliant with One More Try and 2:59 and a poster with CD1 and You're Not In Love and Power Of Desire on CD2 (For these lyrics check out the Brand New Lyrics section)
 
A1 performed at this years smash hits awards. Last year they snapped up best video for Take On Me. This year Ben picked up Most Fanciable Male!!! Well I could have told you that 4 years ago!!! We already knew he was Most fanciable male didnt we girls!!! Now he's got an award to prove it!!!
 
Caught In The Middle is the guyz latest single. It is a very catchy tune written by Ben and Paul. The video shows the guys in a the snowy outdoors and in a warm cabin. Ben looks gorgeous with his long necked jumper. While the guys are singing their hearts out and having food fights in the cabin there are naked girls sharing a sauna! hmmm well you might think its nice guys but for us we would prefer if it was you naked in that sauna!!! Don't we girlz!!! Fantastic single let's hope it'll go straight to number 1.

The latest gossip on the guys is obviously they won Best British Newcomer at the Brit Awards and beating the likes Craig David who was nominated for 6 awards and Toploader who was nominated for 4. Here's what A1 had to say:

Hi there!

What can we say?!

Its wicked! Fantastic! Amazing! We just dont have the words to say what were feeling right now.

It was flattering enough to be nominated alongside people like Craig David, Artful Dodger, Toploader and Coldplay, but to win WOW!

Thank you so much for making us BRITS British Newcomer, you really are the best fans in the world!

Ben, Mark, Christian and Paul

Four girls crushed to death in stampede to see A1
1:15pm Sunday, 18th March 2001

Four teenage girls have been crushed to death in a Jakarta shopping mall stampede when a crowd tried to catch a glimpse of A1.

Two other girls were injured after being trampled on when about 1,500 fans of the British boy band stampeded the exits of the Taman Anggrek shopping mall.

They had come to see the band at a promotional event at a record store but hundreds more people turned up than expected and panic broke out when some fans tried to escape the crush.

The band, best known for its hit single "Be the First to Believe," is currently on a tour of Asia. After the incident, the band went ahead with a live appearance on a local television station.

The mall's management refused to comment and the security guards would not give their names.

A1 have already had to cancel a visit to a music store in the Philippines after a crowd of about 20,000 turned up when organisers were only expecting about 1,000.

A1 have admitted they almost gave up their careers in pop music. It follows the tragic death of four of their fans in a crush in Indonesia, earlier this year.

The teenage girls were killed when fans stampeded at a March in-store appearance in Jakarta.

The band broke their silence on the incident at the Disney Channel Awards.

"We're still haunted every day by what happened, the pain will never go away," said the band's Christian Ingebrigsten.

"I thought 'is it all worth it when four young lives can be lost like that?' We thought about giving it all up."

Ben Adams said: "Our fans have been very supportive and asked us to go on that's what did it for us."

A1 have been dissed by bands such as Five, Damage, Justin Nsync, Ash and Damon Blur/Gorillaz.

Five described them as "a pile of poo" and "a1 give boybands a bad name"

Justin "A1 just get on my nerves"

Ash "A1 are gits I'd just love to smack their faces in."

A1 hit back at five by challenging them to go on stage with a1 and sing live and see who can sing the best. Five declined the offer saying they didnt need to prove anything.
