| Followed by | S Club Juniors: The Story |
S Club Search was an exciting CBBC reality TV show. It aired in the UK in 2001. The show followed the journey of finding new young singers. These talented kids would form a new pop group. This group was first known as S Club Juniors. Later, they changed their name to S Club 8.
The original idea was for the children to perform at Wembley Arena. They would be a support act for the famous group S Club 7. This was for S Club 7's S Club 7 Carnival 2002 tour. The kids' performance at Wembley was a huge hit! Because of this success, the management company, 19 Entertainment, decided something more. They decided the new group should support S Club 7 at all the shows on the Carnival tour. After the tour, the eight children officially formed S Club Juniors. They went on to have six songs that reached the top ten in the UK music charts!
