Bardot was an Australian female pop group which formed in 1999 on the original Australian reality television series of Popstars. Aired in early 2000, the program was a fresh concept to audiences, attracting high ratings and much hype in the media. This resulted in the instant success of their debut single Poison and self-titled debut album, both entering the Australian and New Zealand charts at number 1 and highly in parts of Asia. In 2001, Bardot released their second album Play it Like That, featuring the Top 5 ARIA singles ASAP and I Need Somebody, with greater creative control and this resulted in many strong reviews. Despite making the mutual decision to part ways in 2002, it remains the most successful act of all four Australian Popstars seasons. Bardot (Bradford, Andrew, McRiner) Bardot also refers to the 1978 British folk rock trio Bardot (UK) comprising Chris Bradford, Laurie Andrew, and Ray McRiner. Read more on Last.fm.
