Young Divas was an Australian pop girl group formed in 2006 by Sony BMG Australia, initially for a one-off single and national tour to promote all members as solo artists.
Their commercial success prompted the release of a self-titled debut album of classic disco and pop covers, establishing the Young Divas as an official group.
Young Divas were formed in 2006 by Sony BMG Australia, initially for a 17-date national tour to promote all members as solo artists.
"[2] Young Divas' version of "This Time I Know It's for Real" peaked at number two on the ARIA Singles Chart and remained in the top-ten for 14 consecutive weeks.
[6] Originally planned for a two-week period, the tour proved to be a success that extra dates were added and ran for three months, causing Coulter to postpone her wedding.
[4] In February 2007, it was announced that the Young Divas had pulled out of their scheduled national tour supporting Irish boy band Westlife.

[13] He also stated that her solo commitments was one of the reasons the Young Divas pulled out of the tour, but also claimed that their growing popularity meant they were too successful to be a supporting act.
"[15] During this time, rumours began to circulate that Lavina Williams, Casey Donovan or Jessica Mauboy would be Coulter's replacement in the Young Divas.
[4][20] On 28 March 2008, Sony BMG announced in The Daily Telegraph that due to the poor sales of "Turn Me Loose", a second single would not be released from New Attitude.
