Regarding the trivia, Reggie was referring to artists who appeared in the grand series finals, not the televised shows.

Hurts are Theo Hutchcraft (vocals) and Adam Anderson (guitars, synths), who met while their mates were brawling outside a Manchester club. Initially forming glam-pop group and industry hyped Daggers, the duo realised they wanted to pull back and retain more control of their look and sound, retreating back to Germany and Italy where they perfected their own take on Disco Lento: mainstream pop with a dark undertone (think Leona Lewis’ Bleeding Love; Diana Vickers’ Once).

 

Since posting the original video to Wonderful Life on their YouTube channel just 12 months ago, Hurts have become one of the most talked about bands of the year.

 

The £80 video - £20 of which went on the unknown dancer they found via an advert in the local post office – sparked excitement not only in the music industry, but also with fans of all ages across the internet. Despite attempts to hide the song away, it racked up more than 1 million hits across youtube as fans reposted again and again.

 

Since that one video they have gone on to sign to Sony Music, and see the song become an international hit – topping the charts in Greece and Cyprus, becoming the most played song of the year in Denmark after radio stations ripped it off the internet and tearing up the German airplay charts (it’s currently about to enter the top 10).

 

Despite the excitement, the 2 Manchester-based musicians set up home in a rented basement studio in their Manchester base and – ever perfectionists - worked solidly on the album, Happiness, due to be released on September 6th.

 

Intentionally refusing to release much material, it was the video for Wonderful Life that eventually led to their signing to legendary songwriter (Spice Girls) Biff Stannard’s first label imprint Major Label, after they contacted him online to let him know their favourite Kylie Minogue song (it was Love At First Sight).

 

Since then they’ve been tipped into the Top 5 of the BBC Sound Poll, been on the cover of 4 magazines and received support from everyone from Kylie herself (who tipped their Better Than Love video via her Twitter profile) to Zane Lowe and Radio 1’s Huw Stevens. - HMV

hurts are my new favourite band :wub: hope illuminated does well

 

Mine too :wub: Is that the official third single now then?

What was the actual wording of the trivia question because technically any singer who made the last stages of the show in the last couple of years could be said to have had a no 1 single.....
Mine too :wub: Is that the official third single now then?

 

 

No "Stay" will be the third.

I adore "Devotion"

Im in love with this song now! :wub: Amazing :heart:

This again. Wonderful Life. :wub: I've still not got round to listening to their album yet.
