The Best Of

由四位能歌擅舞创作力十足的大男孩所组成的a1，迄今发行三张专辑，八首全英Top 10单曲，其中并包括两首冠军，同时并获得 MTV音乐大奖“最佳音乐录影带”及2001年全英音乐奖“最佳新进艺人” 的肯定。知名音乐杂志NME曾以“只要听了就会爱上他们”来形容他们了，因此a1在短短的时间内一跃成为全英人气最旺、最受欢迎的男子团体。

发行首张精选辑《The Best Of》收录他们逼退Westlife（西城男孩），空降全英单曲榜首的“Same Old Brand New You”；重新诠释A-Ha 的成名曲“Take On Me”，亦同样摘下冠军；其他Top10单曲，包括：“Summertime Of Our Lives”(#5)、“Everytime / Ready Or Not”(#3) 、“Like A Rose”(#6)..等畅销代表作。
