it wasn't the likeliest of pop history moments. if you had been there you might have chuckled at the crotch-grabbing freestyle dancing and you might also have fancied them rotten, that's ok - you would have been right on both counts, but you would have been missing the main point. because the moment that boyzone first danced their way onto 'the late late show' with gay byrne.

pop history took a turn down a different leg of the trousers of time. millions of records have been sold since, millions of fans have besieged gigs millions of words have been written about them and millions of young fans will never be the same again.

if you feel that perchance liberties are being taken with the word 'millions'. we beg to differ. boyzone have sold more than 10 million albums since 1993. they have also completed sell out tours all over the world. had number 1 records and they have found time to become husbands and fathers inbetween. thats a packed five years by anyone's standards and deserves a few grandiosity's.
