(Thanks to Keri for sending this to me - Just a bit of a warning...this article is chock full of errors. Not only did they mix up Daniel's quotes from a few days ago and say it was Darren then said them, they also have their facts mixed up about the American charts. The chart run of IKILY on the Billboard charts ended over a year ago when it broke TMD's record then dropped to the Recurrent AC chart the very next week. The record stands at 124 weeks, not 144 weeks)

SAVAGE REUNION ‘A MATTER OF TIME’

Australia’s most successful musical export of the past decade, pop duo Savage Garden, could be set for a reunion.

Singer Darren Hayes revealed it was “only a matter of time” before he and guitarist Daniel Jones got back toigether again.

It has been two years since they broke up, with Hayes’s solo career not the huge success many predicted.

Industry sources believe a rift caused the break and that they were no longer on speaking terms.

However, Hayes said the two were now "communicating"

They met in 1994 when both worked in the Queensland cover band scene.

Savage Garden ran for five years, with two successful albums and more than 20 million sales worldwide.

Talk of a reunion comes as the duo’s single I Knew I Loved You enters its 144th week in the American charts..

It has become the longest-running single in US chart history, ironically taking the honour from another Savage Garden track Truly Madly Deeply.

Hayes said he and Jones, who has been working as a record producer, had a unique relationship.

"Daniel and I have an amazing, wonderful relationship in the sense that it’s a connection that neither of us can quite put our finger on," he said.

"We both know its there and I’m sure we will both experiment with it again down the track"
