One True Voice were a British boy band created on the ITV television series Popstars: The Rivals.
In the show, single gender pop groups were created through a public vote and competed in the UK Singles Chart for the 2002 Christmas number one single. One True Voice's debut single was double A-side "Sacred Trust / After You're Gone" which competed against ‘girl group’ Girls Aloud and their debut song "Sound of the Underground". Upon release, Girls Aloud topped the chart and One True Voice reached number two.
In June 2003, Daniel Pearce left the group to pursue a solo career. The band released a further single in 2003, however after cancelling a tour due to poor ticket sales, the group topped a poll for "Britain's Worst Group". By August 2003, the group had fully disbanded without releasing an album.[1]
