Appleton is a musical pair consisting of British-Canadian sisters Natalie and Nicole Appleton, who originally gained recognition as members of the girl band All Saints.
Career
Following the breakup of All Saints in 2002, Natalie and Nicole formed the duo Appleton and secured a recording contract with Polydor. Their first single, "Fantasy", which they co-wrote alongside Andy Hayman and Gareth Young, was released in September 2002 and peaked at number 2 on the UK Singles Chart. In October 2002, their autobiography titled Together was published. Although director David Slade announced intentions to turn the book into a film adaptation, the project did not come to fruition. The following year, Appleton issued two additional singles, "Don't Worry" and "Everything's Eventual," as well as their album Everything's Eventual, which earned a silver certification in the UK.
In 2004, they parted ways with Polydor and signed with Concept Music. Plans for their second album were ultimately abandoned due to the reunion of All Saints in 2006.
