Always & Forever is the debut album by the British R&B vocal group Eternal, released in 1993. The album became a sales success, selling over one million copies and yielding six single releases. It is the only Eternal album to feature Louise Nurding, who left to embark on a solo career before Eternal's follow up album Power of a Woman. The album had an American release in March 1994; it reached the lower 100s on the Billboard 200 album chart.
Always & Forever yielded two Top 5 singles; "Stay" and "Oh Baby I..." "Stay" was the first single to be released from the album, peaking at No. 4 in the UK Singles Chart. This was followed by "Save Our Love" and "Just A Step From Heaven", both of which peaked at No. 8. "So Good" was the next single, peaking at No. 13, followed by "Oh Baby I..." which reached No. 4. "Crazy" was the final single released from the album, peaking at No. 15 in the UK Singles Chart.
Always & Forever was a huge success, peaking at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart and was later certified 4x Platinum by the BPI for sales of over 1.2 million copies. It was 1994's third best-selling album in the UK, spending over 76 weeks in the charts. The album broke records for being the first to sell over 1 million copies in the UK by a female group. As of 2015, it is the only album by a debut act to contain six top 15 hits and the first album by a female group to be nominated for best album at the BRIT Awards.
