"Love Machine" was the next release to be taken from their second album "What Will The Neighbours Say". 

Things got off to a shaky start, when it became their first single not to reach the Top 30 on Radio airplay, so it was unpredictable how the single would do.  However with high rotation video play, a hectic promotional schedule, a heavily rotated video, and eye catching performances complete with one of their most memorable dance routines ever,  there was absolutely no need to have been worried. 

"Love Machine" became their third single in a row to enter the charts at #2, frustratingly beaten by one of the 21st Century's biggest dance hits, Eric Prydz - "Call On Me".  

"Love Machine" went on to sell just under 100,000 copies and remains not only a fan favourite, but one of their most recognised hit singles, going on to be the theme music of a number of adverts, including Homebase.   A 6th Top 3 hit in a row meant that they had become the first girl group since the Spice Girls to achieve this feat.
