The course

The course

The Course are a seminal UK dance act that achieved their biggest commercial success in 1997.

Although the year the group first started is generally unknown, it is most likely they started around the mid-'90s, as they started releasing their first singles around this time.

The band released their first single, "Ready or Not", in early 1997 and, in April, it reached #5 in the UK Singles Chart, giving the band their first hit. The follow-up, a cover of Chaka Khan and Rufus' "Ain't Nobody" also fared well, reaching #8 in July. However, their third single, "Best Love", only made it to #51 in December. Subsequent singles failed to see chart action, proving The Course to be a "two-hit wonder". They broke up in the late 1990s because of the lack of commercial success after the first two singles.
