Since the release of their debut eponymous Platinum certified album in 2005, The Magic Numbers have maintained their chart presence since, and more so a loyal fan base.
The Magic Numbers formed in 2002, wasting no time in getting on the London gigging circuit, building their fan base along the way, and fortunately landing a record deal with Heavenly Records. Following this, the band’s status began to grow exponentially, landing support slots on tours with Travis and Snow Patrol, and then appearing on Festivals. It was in November 2004, that the band released a limited edition vinyl single “Hymn for Her”, which was launched with a three show residency at The Borderline, London. They also played their first live session on Dermot O’Leary’s show on BBC Radio 2.
On June 13th 2005, the band released their eponymous debut album, which was recorded at the Metropolis Studios in London. It shot up to number 7 in the UK Albums Chart. It was the singles that really propelled the release of the album too, turning heads in the direction of The Magic Numbers. “Forever Lost” made it to number 15 on the UK Singles Chart and “Love Me Like You” made it to number 12.
The following year, the band released the single “Take a Chance” on October 23rd 2006, which made it to number 16 in the UK Singles Chart, again catapulting the release of the album “Those the Brokes” which made it to number 11 in the UK Albums chart, and anomalously 3 in the Swedish chart.
Despite not making it to the top 20 of the charts, The Magic Numbers released the album “The Runaway” on July 26th 2010, and the album charted in five different European countries.
“Alias” released on August 18th 2014, made it to number 57 in the UK Albums chart.
