'''S Club 8''' (originally '''S Club Juniors''') were a spin off of the British [[pop music|pop]] group [[S Club|S Club 7]]. The children were all in their early teens or younger when they were chosen from thousands of hopefuls on the television series ''[[S Club Search]]'' to appear as a [[support act]] for pop band [[S Club 7]].
 
S Club Juniors were originally intended only as a support act at [[Wembley Arena]] for the S Club Carnival Tour but were deemed so successful that they went on to support S Club 7 throughout every British date of the tour. They later released their own debut single, "[[One Step Closer (S Club Juniors song)|One Step Closer]]", followed by other singles "[[Automatic High]]", "[[New Direction (song)|New Direction]]" and "[[Puppy Love/Sleigh Ride]]". This was followed by their debut [[album]], ''[[Together (S Club Juniors album)|Together]]''.

After changing the group name to S Club 8, they released the singles "[[Fool No More (S Club 8 song)|Fool No More]]", "[[Sundown (S Club 8 song)|Sundown]]" and a [[Remix album|remixed]] version of their album track, "[[Don't Tell Me You're Sorry (S Club 8 song)|Don't Tell Me You're Sorry]]". They then released a second album, [[Sundown (S Club 8 album)|''Sundown'']].

The group appreared in their own TV Show, ''[[I Dream]]'', alongside other young actors including [[Lorna Want]], who had originally auditioned for S Club Juniors herself, as well as [[Matt Di Angelo]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2002-10-23 |title=Move over Charlotte, here's Lorna |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/opera/3584583/Move-over-Charlotte-heres-Lorna.html?fbclid=IwY2xjawFaalNleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHWP-_q_jJ1tjNGKihqvqbpFWfsk2Kw_O2-lqdiKOKXaLj17FaFHYhXr01Q_aem_MMOGDbYWy8miNoXq6MaE-w |access-date=2024-09-20 |website=The Telegraph |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2016-05-02 |title=Remember when EastEnders star Matt Di Angelo was in that S Club 8 TV show? |url=https://metro.co.uk/2016/05/02/remember-when-eastenders-star-matt-di-angelo-was-in-that-s-club-8-tv-show-5854603/ |access-date=2025-04-04 |website=Metro |language=en}}</ref> The show spawned a soundtrack and third album for S Club 8, called ''[[Welcome to Avalon Heights]]''. It peaked at number 133 in the UK album charts. It did not chart in any other countries.

A documentary series titled ''S Club Juniors: The Story'' was produced about the  early days of the group.

S Club 8 disbanded in 2005, after almost four years.
