Marti Pellow

Marti Pellow is a Scottish singer, best known as the lead singer of the pop group Wet Wet Wet for 28 years: from their formation in 1982 until their split in 1997, and again from their reformation in 2004 to his departure in 2017. The bands debut album, Popped In Souled Out spawned four successful singles, including "Wishing I Was Lucky" and "Angel Eyes", with the album peaking atop the albums charts in the United Kingdom, selling 1.5 million copies and earning a 5x Platinum certification from the British Phonographic Industry. The lead single from their fourth album, Picture This, "Love Is All Around" topped the singles charts in the United Kingdom, Australia, Denmark, Iceland, Sweden and their native Scotland. Spending a total of fifteen consecutive weeks at number one on the UK Singles Charts, it became one of the longest chart reigns of all time in the United Kingdom, where it sold over 1.9 million copies. The band dissolved in 1997 following the release of their fifth album, 10, which resulted in Pellow launching a career as a solo artist with his debut solo album Smile being released in June 2001.
