Michael Auger, Richard Hadfield, Jamie Lambert, Matt Pagan and Thomas J Redgrave had been singing together for just one month when they decided to enter Britain's Got Talent. But despite the judges' initial scepticism, Collabro received a standing ovation at their audition as their rendition of Les Misérables' 'Stars' captivated the audience. Chosen by the judges to progress to the live semi-finals, they performed another Les Misérables hit and received the highest number of votes from the public (62.3%), ensuring their automatic progression to the final. Their live final performance received 26.5% of the vote and Collabro won the competition by a wide margin.
Their debut album 'Stars' sold 49,749 copies in just one week, making them the fastest selling new British band of 2014. Their No1 album also sold more than both the No.2 and No.3 albums combined.
