QUOTE(Voodoo @ Jan 11 2023, 09:43 AM)  Another video? He didn't shoot even one proper music video this era. I was gonna say the videos - if you can call them that - this era have been absolutely shocking. Just him rolling around on a dirty wooden floor in confetti in a white suit out of Miami Vice is not the one. |

I received the Music Week magazine and it said he was on 30002 sales at the end of December.

He's just confirmed on his Insta Stories the next single is "I Found Her". He's also on The One Show tonight talking about that, the tour and also Starstruck on ITV that he presents which began a new series last week:

Interview on This Morning yesterday:
He also did some Q&A thing on Reddit last night: https://www.reddit.com/r/popheads/comments/...art_might_skip/ Tellingly in this, he said a repacked version of "Marry Me" with a tour DVD "is unlikely", and that he wanted to make videos for the other singles so far "but that decision was taken out of his hands". Sounds like he's not entirely happy with EMI... |

An artist like Olly would benefit in this point in his career of being with a label like BMG and having a deal ala Kylie, Rick Astley, Steps, Emma Bunton etc., Ultimately his current label signed him off the back of his previous success so are not going to be too excited over a 30k selling album that spent 4 weeks in the charts with no hit singles. |

Yeah... I used to love Olly's music and buy his albums... but he seems to have carved himself a role in television now and that's probably what he needs to concentrate on.
His last album or two sold pretty well on the back of under-performing singles, so even in today's album climate his latest one is a bit here and gone too soon. It must be difficult for the pop star and their die-hard fans to not get the output from the record company that they used to. |

I think the whole way round this has been a very difficult album campaign. But fundamentally, for me, the music is the foundation of a good campaign, and I say this as a long standing fan of his... He can do so much better than what he's put out on this album. "Go Ghost" and "Dancing On Cars" are the two obvious standout singles and great tracks for me, but not much else is on this album, I'll be honest. And I was disappointed. This should really, after four years away, have been his moment to reaffirm that he was back and was still at the top of his game. What didn't help was when someone somewhere on his team at EMI decided "Die Of A Broken Heart" and "I Hate You When You're Drunk" were the singles. I'm still baffled they were the chosen ones. And they were the wrong choice anyway, because both got overshadowed by social media backlash (from certain people reading too much into it in the case of the latter, admittedly) that the tabloids then latched onto, which killed any momentum they might have had going for them. |

I actually enjoyed 'Die of a Broken Heart', in my mind he's released many far worse singles than that in the past. But yeah, 'I Hate You When You're Drunk' was truly inexcusable.

It's long been deleted but after tour started on Friday, someone Tweeted him asking why the setlist didn't have more songs off the new album and...
 I mean. This happens every tour TBF (I made the mistake of asking him why "What A Buzz" wasn't on the Right Place Right Time Tour setlist back in the day, but that's a story for another time). But honestly?

So it’s a Greatest Hits tour then?!
The 10% could turn into 20% if he sung the new songs? Seems it’s not just his record company that’s over this era… |

According to Setlist FM he performed 5 songs from 'Marry Me', which isn't too bad really. Lots of artists do far less of their new material live.
1. Marry Me/I'm Still Standing 2. Best Night of Your Life 3. You Don't Know Love 4. Kiss Me/Watermelon Sugar 5. Right Place Right Time 6. I Found Her 7. Thinking of Me 8. Sweet Caroline 9. Dear Darlin' 10. I Hate You When You’re Drunk 11. Heart Skips a Beat 12. We Found Love 13. Wrapped Up 14. Dancing on Cars 15. Celebration / YMCA / Blame it on the Boogie / Don't Stop Believing / Sex On Fire / I Want It That Way / Dancing On The Ceiling (Mashup) 16. Dance With Me Tonight 17. Troublemaker It's a shame that there's nothing from 'You Know I Know' though, not even 'Moves'! |

I mean number 15 seems so unneeded, I honestly don't get these covers medleys unless you don't have the material to fill a show!?
I hated the celebration medley at the Return of the spice girls show
