Background


In April 2003, the album Atomic Kitten was released in the United States, which consisted of tracks from their first two albums. The album was commercially unsuccessful, although single "The Tide Is High (Get the Feeling)" appeared on the soundtrack for the Disney Channel Original Movie The Lizzie McGuire Movie (2003). Following this, the group opted to focus solely on the European, Oceanian, South African and Asian markets and began work on their third album.[3]

Before recording started, American R&B group Kool & the Gang approached the group about a collaboration for their album of duets, The Hits: Reloaded (2004). Kool & the Gang wanted to record an updated version of their hit "Ladies Night" and were looking for a girl group to sing the lyrics. Atomic Kitten liked the idea and inquired whether they could use it for their next album which was subsequently named Ladies Night in honour of this collaboration.[4] Atomic Kitten spent late 2002 and early 2003 in the studio recording their third studio album. Up until the recording of Ladies Night, the group mainly relied on songwriters, though they had occasionally co-written songs featured on their albums. While recording Ladies Night, they decided to be directly involved in the creation of eight of the fifteen songs.[4][5]


Chart performance


Ladies Night debuted and peaked at number five on the UK Albums Chart, selling 48,000 copies in its first week of release.[6] It was a considerable decline from the band's previous two studio albums Right Now (2000) and Feels So Good (2002), both of which had been certified double platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) and became number-one hits.[7] A steady seller, Ladies Night was however certified platinum by the BPI for the shipment of over 550,000 copies in the United Kingdom.[8]
