Listened too. Typed up what I could remember for the sleepy heads who have been up chatting half the night. :lol:

So our man could well be back to number 1 on Sunday, so many years after 'Friday's Child' :wub:

What an achievement that would be :cheer:

Won't celebrate too early Bert but 3 number 1 albums has such a lovely ring to it. ;) :)

I think there could be some surprises if Jealousy stays buoyant. There are different versions charting on ITunes including the remixes, and I saw Come On on the Pop singles chart last night, so could increase his chart positon when they are all added together.

 

I so hope he gets a number one album though - he's still #1 on downloads and that's without all the pre-ordered physicals that have to be accounted for.

Thanks Chris :yahoo: fab that come on entered the singles chart :cheer: i was being hopeful that would happen when being in silly lala land, but it has happened, this is doing so well for Will and im just loving it all at the mo :yahoo:

 

Chris do you mean that all those pre orders have not so far been added to bring him up to speed? when do they get added? are they reflected in Wills mids? not that it would change his position, but maybe on the sales from MW estimate??

Thanks Sunday :w00t: this is all so brilliant atm :yahoo:

Glad you're enjoying the new album Rob. I've only had one listen, need a few more to decide on favourites.

Popular New York Based Gay Music Site Towleroad have a review of Echoes. :dance: It's fantastic!

 

Will Young Echoes (RCA)

 

He's still largely anonymous in America, but after selling more than 8 million albums everywhere else in the world — and celebrating this achievement with 2009's excellent The Hits compilation — now seems as a good a time as any for Will Young to rock the boat. On his fifth studio effort, Echoes, the out gay pop star has done just that: For one thing, hiring electropop maestro Richard X to helm production duties for the entire album was a bold move — not only because Richard X has never produced an entire full-length album for an artist of this size before, but because Young's sole experience with making electronic music before this album was a one-song collaboration with Groove Armada. And perhaps therein lies the genius. Echoes is the sound of a clean slate and the reintroduction to a Will Young that sounds more inspired than we've ever heard him. Opener (and lead single) "Jealousy" is a solid barometer for the album's tone, managing to convey sorrow through all of the musical signifiers we associate with euphoria, while the electro-disco "Runaway" showcases Young's soulful vocal chops utilizing an entirely fresh palette. But it's "Come On" that, by track 2, perfectly fuses past and present — retaining Young's classic sensibility, although trading in the stadium-sized string sections for synths. It's far too early to make any predictions, but this far into 2011, track for track in its entirety, I have yet to hear a more exciting and cohesive commercial pop album. Echoes will be called a reinvention, but it's actually just insanely good.
