D:Ream were a Northern Irish pop and dance band of the 1990s. They had a UK Number One hit with "Things Can Only Get Better" in 1993 as well as eight more top 40 hits. They released two albums, both of which reached the top five. The group had an all-male line-up which varied in number, but mainly centred on lead singer Peter Cunnah. One of their former members was Brian Cox, who is now a professor of physics and a television presenter, though Cox did not perform on any of the band's hit singles and in fact only played piano on one recording, the final track of the band's first album.
