Five (stylized as 5ive) is the debut studio album by English boy band Five. It was released in the United Kingdom on 22 June 1998 and charted at number one the UK Albums Chart, becoming the band's only album to do so. The album was later released in the United States on 14 July 1998, where it charted at number 27 on the Billboard 200, making it the most successful album by the band in the region. 　　Largely produced by Jake Schulze and Denniz Pop – the latter who also served as the executive producer with Simon Cowell – the album spawned six singles, of which all but one reached the top 10 of the UK Singles Chart, the exception – ""It's the Things You Do"" – having only been released in the United States. On 4 December 1998, the British Phonographic Industry awarded the album a Platinum certification, an accolade later matched by the Recording Industry Association of America. The album has since gone on to earn double platinum status in the UK and sold in excess of 3.3 million copies worldwide.
