Overview
Her group, Gossip, achieved international success with the 2007 hit, and Beth said that since then none of their other tracks have done so well.
She told NME magazine, 'I say it sold a million records worldwide. Not so much in the UK, and nothing in America, but you go to Europe, where there's not so much focus on being hip, and it's wild.
'People say, 'Well, you never wrote another Standing In The Way Of Control', I say that song was a complete fluke.
'I never considered Gossip great songwriters. We could stand in a room for a week and never be able to work out how to write another song like that - we're just not good enough musicians. But could anyone?
'In some territories 'Standing' is the greatest-selling international single of all time. That's crazy!'
