Cheeky Girls - Cheeky Song (Touch My Bum)

The Cheeky Girls are a pop music duo formed by Monica and Gabriela Irimia, twin sisters from Cluj-Napoca, Transylvania, Romania, based in Britain. The girls shot to fame as the Cheeky Girls after auditions on the British TV shows, "Model Behaviour" and more importantly "Popstars: The Rivals". Following two appearances on the show with their audition which had judges Pete Waterman and Louis Walsh not knowing what to say various record companies approached the Granada Press Office. The Press Office contacted Paul Holland at Granada Ventures who was able to secure them a deal with the Multiply label part of Telstar Records.

"The Cheeky Song (Touch My Bum)" was swiftly recorded and released in the first week in December 2002. Entering the chart at number 3 the single peaked at number 2. In the week before Christmas this was one of three singles from the Popstars: The Rivals show to occupy the Top 3; One True Voice and Girls Aloud held the other two positions.

So although they failed to pass the auditions for either show, they received enough publicity to launch a pop career, releasing four singles and one album in the UK, and also touring Europe and Asia.
