But when our first album came out, I didn't think it was going to sell a lot of records.

I hadn't been a recording artist all that long when albums came on the scene, and I was one of the first singers to point the way to how varied an album's contents could be.

But I remember we sold nearly 18,000 records in one day.

When I started playing music, people weren't selling 5 million records. That was not the standard; that was not the focus.

Our albums just tend to be collections of songs really, because we all write in the group, all four of us.

My first five albums were triple-platinum, and I played a lot of concerts.

It's a shame in a way that people come and go with one album.

If you don't tour, you cannot expect to sell a huge numbers of your albums either. It was both a business - and an economical decision and we wanted to play anyway. We just wanted to get out for the tour when it was safe enough for us.

Do you realize that I have had five albums in the Top 30. Elvis and The Beatles have never done that. I had five singles in the Top 5, I mean, no one's ever done that.

Of the 25 songs we've recorded there were 24 that we wanted to have on an album. That wouldn't have worked. So when one of our wise managers suggested the idea of considering two different album, it cleared the way for us.
