With many bands announcing reformation, rumors are rife that now S Club 7 is considering to do the same. Member Rachel Stevens who launched a solo career after the group disbanded in 2003 won't rule out that a reunion may happen in near future.

S Club 7 are better than other teen-oriented, dancing popsters such as Spice Girls or Backstreet Boys for two reasons. First, there are seven of them, and that beats four Spice Girls or five Backstreet Boys hands down -- it's basic arithmetic. Secondly, S Club 7 have both guys and girls in the group, which is better than just guys or just girls. Other than that, it's all the same, really.

S-Club is one of England's contributions to the teen pop revival of the late '90s. Originally called S Club 7, the band was originally formed with seven members in 1999. Packaged by Simon Fuller, the group was comprised of Rachel Stevens, Paul Cattermole, Jo O'Meara, Tina Barrett, Jon Lee, Bradley McIntosh, and Hannah Spearritt. They veered from the boy-band formula by having both male and female performers, but their goal was the same: record bubblegum songs that appeal to kids and have a slick look that is simultaneously attractive to young teens and inoffensive to their parents. The group debuted with its own BBC TV show and immediately struck gold with its first single, Bring It All Back, which shot to number one in Britain. It began a string of ten consecutive Top Ten hits in the U.K. The band's initial three albums were hugely successful; ... their fourth, 2002's Seeing Double, was the first one not to debut in the Top Ten. Cattermole left the group to return to his old metal band, Skua.

More recently, Rachel has expressed an interest in launching an acting career[90] after briefly appearing in Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo and Spider-Plant Man for the Comic Relief 2005 campaign.
