Youngest Group To Earn A Platinum Single In The UK
Mmmbop by the America trip Hanson went to No.1 in a total of 20 countries and passed the 600,000 sales mark in the UK in 1997, when the Hanson brothers' average age was 14. When the single was at No.1 in the USA, the group's youngest member, drummer Zachary, was 11 years 6 months old - just one month older than Michael Jackson had been when the Jackson Five went to the top of the US charts with I Want You Back in 1970. Hanson's album Middle Of Nowhere has sold about 6 million copies worldwide and been widely acclaimed as a classic pop album. Zachary and his brothers Taylor, the band's 14-year-old vocalist and keyboard player, and Issac, the 17-year-old guitarist, all studied classical piano for at least five years and write a proportion of their songs. Now managed by their father, they were spotted at the South By Southwest music conference at Austin, Texas, by an entertainment lawyer and Grateful Dead fanatic, Christopher Sabec, in 1994.
They join a long line of youthful pop stars, including the Osmonds, the Jackson Five, Five Star, Musical Youth, Aaron Carter and Cleopatra.
