Anna BelperioScandal'us (or Scandal'Us) were the winners of the
Australia n "Popstars 2" in2001 (successors ofBardot , the winners of the first Australian "Popstars" in2000 ). They were the first group to have a debut single debut at #1 on the AustraliaARIAnet Singles Chart and keep it there for three weeks (the single in question is "Me Myself & I"). They also released a second single, "Make Me Crazy", which only reached #30. Their debut album, "Startin' Somethin' ", debuted and peaked at #2 on the ARIAnet Albums Chart. The group disbanded in 2002 claiming each member wanted to pursue their own careers as well as having difficulties of finding a new record label after leaving Festival Mushroom Records. Another popular song from the album was "I'm Not Gonna Cry (Na Na Na)", written by Los Angeles songwritersGordon Pogoda andJohn Keller . According to one Scandal'us poll from 2002, it was voted as the 2nd most popular song of the album.
