"Right Now" is the debut single by English girl group Atomic Kitten, from their debut album of the same name (2000). Katona's version appears on the original version of the Right Now album although Frost's version appears on the re-release. The 2004 Greatest Hits album featured a new re-recorded version titled "Right Now 2004", which proved a greater international chart success.

Music video

Chart performance

Someone like Me/Right Now 2004 had a better position in the chart than the original release of "Right Now", peaking at #8. However, it didn't sell as much copies, just managing to sell 50,000 copies in the UK; whereas the original release sold 120,000 copies.

It was a number one hit in Taiwan, topping the charts for four weeks.[7]

The song reached the top 20 in Ireland and Belgium.

In the rest of Europe, the song failed to reach the top 40, which is thought to be due to low promotion. It was their lowest charting single in Germany, only managing a peak of #67, and also in Switzerland, peaking at #42. In The Netherlands, it was their second lowest charting single, just behind Love Doesn't Have To Hurt.
