Profile of Gareth Gates

Gareth Gates  is an English pop singer who shot to fame in 2002 when he came second in the first series of the ITV talent show Pop Idol. Gates is also known for overcoming his severe stammer through the McGuire Programme, qualifying as a speech coach in 2004. An early favourite to win, Gates was runner-up on the first series of Pop Idol. Despite not winning the competition, he was soon signed up with Simon Cowell's record label BMG. (Cowell had been one of the Pop Idol judges, notorious for his harsh criticisms of many of the contestants. Gates' first single, a cover version of "Unchained Melody", entered the UK Singles Chart at number one, knocking Will Young's first single — the double A-side "Anything is Possible"/"Evergreen" — off the top of the chart. The single was voted 2002's Record of the Year by ITV viewers. This was followed by another high selling number-one single, "Anyone of Us". His third single, "The Long and Winding Road", a duet with Will Young, also reached number one. His fourth, "What My Heart Wants to Say" reached number five. Gates was at the height of his fame in 2002, with the now-defunct Smash Hits magazine dedicating 7 November as International Gates Day for his fans. His debut album, What My Heart Wants to Say, entered the chart the previous month at number two with first week sales of over 100,000, and went on to achieve double platinum status. In 2003, Gates sang the 2003 Comic Relief charity single, "Spirit In The Sky", with The Kumars. This was also a number-one hit, staying there for two weeks. He also appeared in Comic Relief's Celebrity Driving School. Through Comic Relief, he became involved with Body and Soul, a charity that helps people affected by HIV and AIDS. He continues to be involved. His next two singles "Sunshine" and "Say it Isn't So" reached numbers three and four respectively. His second album Go Your Own Way entered the UK chart at number eleven, charting at number one and achieving platinum status in a number of Asian countries. Gates has enjoyed significant success outside the UK, particularly in Asia, South Africa and many European countries. He won MTV Asia's award for Best International Male in 2003/4 and was awarded the same title by MTV China and MTV Taiwan. "Say It Isn't So", a 2003 number-four single, proved to be Gates' last single release in the UK until April 2007. He also had a part in the film Seeing Double, and increased his charitable work, promoting AIDS awareness through a charity concert to fifty thousand people with MTV in Indonesia. To date, Gates has sold just over three million music singles in the UK alone, including the second and sixth best selling singles in 2002 ("Unchained Melody", which sold one point three million, and "Anyone of Us (Stupid Mistake)", which sold 570,000) and the second best selling single in 2003 ("Spirit in the Sky", 550,000 copies).
