You got it (also known as Got it goin' on) Australia:Released 25 March 1996: Highest chart position:19 Germany:Released 1997
This single is now extremely rare in its Australian version!
However, It's not so difficult to get a German version: look out on e-bay
and on brilliant 2nd hand records site Netsounds
German tracklisting:
You got it
Sleeping Alone
Australian tracklisting:
Tellin' Everybody Australia:Released 15 July 1996: Highest chart position:30 Germany: Released 1997

Wishes Australia: Released 14 October 1996: chart position:6
(27 weeks in the chart, and a platinum award!) Europe: Released 1997 UK: Released 28 April 1997: chart position:
The single that really got them some atten-SHUN in Australia,
and their first UK release. In the UK it was released to coincide with
a support slot on tour with Eternal.
Australian tracklisting:
Wishes
Last Christmas
You Know
Wishes II
A combination of these tracks seems to appear on most releases:
but the European releases often contained "Sleeping Alone" instead of "Last
Christmas". There was also a second UK CD featuring remixes by Carl McIntosh.
Don't Say Goodbye Australia: Released 10 March 1997: Highest chart position:8
The LE CD contained a calendar: I don't know whether it
was released in Asia, but it wasn't released in the UK or Europe.
Tracklistings:
LE CD:
Don'tsay goodbye
Wishes (AK's comfort zone mix)
September Girl (US acoustic mix)
Remix CD:
Don't say goodbye

Whisper your name Australia: Released 21 July 1997: Highest chart position:18 Europe: Released 1997 UK Released 18 August 1997
I seem to have accumulated about 5 different versions
of this CD! In Australia a special limited edition 8-track CD was released
with a poster and live tracks to celebrate their first proper tour, and
the single was released in Europe when the guys were on tour with Michael
Jackson.
***The Aussie LE version contains the track "Stomp" (a
cover of the Brothers Johnson disco track) live, which has never been released
on any HN album. There were many requests for a recording but the guys
didn't put it on an album because it didn't sound right. The studio recording
is only available on a fan CD that was sent to HN fan club members.***
Australian Tracklisting:

Whisper your name (radio edit)

UK and European copies often had Toby and Phil on the front
of one CD and Mike and Andy on the other.
Every time You Cry (with John Farnham) Australia: Released 6 October 1997: Highest chart
position: 3 (platinum!)
John Farnham may be hardly known here- in the 80's he had
a top 10 with "You're the voice" (still played quite a bit here!) but in
Australia he's a living legend. HN did this track and toured with him on
his 50th birthday tour (where they dropped their trews!). It was one of
the most played tracks in Australia in 1997.
Tracklisting:
Everytime you cry (HN and John Farnham)
Everything is out of season (John Farnham)
You're the voice (swing version)

it just in time for christmas, ahhhhh.

People get ready (a capella version)
All out of love (radio version)
Last christmas (a capella version)
So, covers all round then!
Cruel Australia: Released 14 September 1998: highest chart
position: 14
"Cruel" was the first track to be released off the 2nd album
"Counting Down". (For some reason i only have a pic of the back cover!?!)(ahh,
but isn't it lovely?) Not a huge hit, but a lovely, lovely song. And Michael
cut his hair. THANK YOU!!!!!
Tracklisting:
Cruel (single edit)
Without You (LA demo version)
Cruel (album version)
Mind you, the album didn;t turn up until 8 months later....
Last to know Australia: Released 22 March 1999
Still no album (mastering problems?) and the guys give us
this funky thing: equally as popular in it's remix version as in it's normal
version. Promo CD's were sent out with only the remix on it. The space
age video..... mmmmm, yum. (think the lads dressed in Riley Finn style
Initiative wear...)
This was released on 2 CD's in Australia: a CD with calendar
and extra tracks, plus a remix CD.
Tracklisting:
Last to know (radio edit)
She's Taken my words
Ride Away
"She's taken my words" was the theme song to Australian romcom
movie "Paperback hero"
Don't cry Australia: Released 12 July 1999:Highest chart position:
5
Not the most obvious choice for a single (by this time, the
album had actually arrived!) but still a damn good one.
Tracklisting:
Don't cry ( US radio remix)
What if i said
Last to know (leigh brothers radio remix)
Last to know (discotheque club remix)
Don't Cry (DIY mix)
Bonus:little cuuuuuttteeee mini stickers! yay!
Eternal Flame Australia:first release 18 October 1999:highest chart
position: 8
Tacked on the end of "Counting down" was the obligatory near-a
capella cover version "eternal flame" which originally was only to be released
as a single in Asia. However, they liked it so much they released it twice.
At the time of release, HN were performing as the Naturals in arena musical
Happy Days. The first release was a simple white cardboard slipcase, but
it was released again (in proper case!) with HN-written track "Shake you
outta my head" from the musical.
Tracklisting:
Eternal Flame
She's so gone
Breaking me down
Don't Cry (discotheque club remix)
Eternal Flame (video)
The 2nd release included "Shake you outta my head" as track
2.
Be there with you Australia: Released 20 March 2000
This was the last track to be released off "Counting down",
and was released in 2 different versions: a blue edition digipack, which
was a limited edition tour pack, and a red one, which was normal. (Toby
signed my digipack! yay!)

He don't love you Australia: Released 6 November 2000: highest chart
position: 5 UK: Released 26 February 2001:highest chart position:
18
The first single off the new album "Human nature" and quite
a turn in style for the guys. It was written & produced by Westlife
producers Steve Mac & Wayne Hector, but was thankfully far away from
the slushy ballad. It was also featured on Neighbours when the lads performed
at the deb ball.
This was the first return to the UK since August 1997.
The single was released a little while after the Neighbours episodes were
shown here. The UK video clip featured Holly Valence (Flick from Neighbours)
in the shower.
UK Tracklisting:
He don't love you

The oz radio promo for this track features interviews and

When we were young Australia: release date:19 March 2001 UK:release date: 18 June 2001

Albums
Telling Everybody Australia: release date 9 December 1996: Highest position:
7 (74 weeks in chart, triple platinum) Europe: release date 1997
The first album from the HN camp supplied 2 years of singles,
was in the chart for well over a year, gaining triple platinum status.
To date it is probably the best selling album the guys have released.
Tracklisting:
Tellin' everybody
You got it (goin' on)
Whisper your name
Wishes
Something in the way
Party (feels so fine)
Don't say goodbye
Can i do you

The album is out of print in the UK.
Counting Down Australia: Release date: 24 May 1999: Highest chart
position: 1 (platinum)
It seemed as if this album was never going to arrive-it
was due in November, then February, then April, and finally arrived with
us in May. It went straight to number one and gained a platinum award in
the process. Early birds grabbed a 2-CD version in Australia (mine has
fallen apart). This album has never been released in the uk (pity, as it
does contain some of their best tracks)
Tracklisting:
Last to know
Cruel
Mary's Garden
Counting Down
Don't Cry
Depend on me
Be there with you
Bring her back
Send it in a letter
7 lonely days
Now that i found you
Temperature rising
We can fly away (hidden bonus track)
The bonus CD included:
Everytime you cry (with John Farnham)
Eternal Flame
Last to know (Radio remix)
Last to know (VV club remix)
Cruel (radio remix)
Some Asian versions also contained a track in Mandarin called
"Mo mo ai ni" ("Secretly in love with you") with Coco Lee.
Human Nature Australia: Release date: 4 December 2000 UK: Release date TBC
Third album from the guys and it's a funky one- right from the catchy "He don't love you" to the mid-tempo singalong "Love is a fire". The album was made between London, Sydney and Sweden, and even includes a track written with Gary Barlow (fortunately it's better than some of the stuff Gary's come out with....) Quick word of warning: watch out for "Trash"-its' so funky it's dangerous!
