I dont think he has, he hasn't confirmed either. Imo he would be a twat if he didn't do it tbh. It has done wonders for him and pretty much guarantees another successful era. But, with him supporting One Direction and wanting to focus on the us for a bit it depends on timing I suppose.

 

He is presenting it again - he Tweeted so last week:

 

@ollyofficial: So just to clear up.. DEFINITELY doing Xtra Factor again this year, just need to sign on the dotted line and just work out my dates!

 

The only stage he won't be at will be the auditions in June obviously because of his US jaunt. I think from what he said the other day on Capital FM breakfast show he'll be back for boot camp onwards, which would make sense given he's got his summer shows here and in Ireland from 5th July onwards and they usually film boot camp around late July/early August. 'Oh My Goodness' is gonna be the last single from this album now so I imagine as he starts recording and writing for album 3 this month that we'll be getting the first single off that when 'The Xtra Factor' starts up again or in September if he's back from boot camp onwards!

Shocked at how high Marcus is, I thought he'd be one of the lowest! Gwaan Coldplay, hopefully this should keep Paradise top 40 for another couple of weeks :D

Carly is doing so well!!! Hopefully it stays at #1 for ages!! :cheer:

Sad times when you see Marcus Collins' song on Now! 81 higher than Alyssa Reid's. :(

Carly is doing NICELY. Well deserved and rather have her at #1 than Sean Paul :D

Edited April 3, 201213 yr by Jaseeee

I dont know if its already been said, but Dance With Me Tonight has been brougt back to 99p. Cue plummet.

I can't say I am a big fan of 'We Are Young' - sure, its reasonably catchy, but I think I will get sick of it easily and don't see whats SO special about it, to be #1 for months on end. However, saying this, I would be thrilled to see it hit #1 in the UK, only for the fact that I would litterally pee myself over the notion that the wonderful Janelle Monáe had a #1 to her name.

Maybe these aren't all Fun fakes, maybe Tulisa ones instead?

Maybe these aren't all Fun fakes, maybe Tulisa ones instead?

Tulisa's song is could "Young", so they can't be.

I dont know if its already been said, but Dance With Me Tonight has been brougt back to 99p. Cue plummet.

 

I'm pretty sure it's been put back to 99p a few times and not plummeted (well, the album version which occasionally pops back in when reduced plummets again, but the single version stays fairly sturdy). Plus DWMT has another version around from Now! 81.

Maybe these aren't all Fun fakes, maybe Tulisa ones instead?

 

Which would explain why the singles are clearly titled to indicate they're fun. fakes... :huh:

Sad times when you see Marcus Collins' song on Now! 81 higher than Alyssa Reid's. :(

 

They're both cover versions but Marcus' cover of SNA is decent at the very least. Alyssa's cover of 'Alone' is just shockingly dull. I know many have beef with Marcus covering such rock royalty (PAHA!) but I've never been able to understand why Alyssa is so loved. Her song is just all shades of bad.

They're all fun., I just took a listen to the previews. As usual I don't understand why people are buying them, similar to the original in some ways but just not as good or worth the money.

Have you seriously been living in a hole since the start of the year?

 

Tbh, I wouldn't have heard of the song if it wasn't for reading an article about fun. reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. I haven't heard it on radio once and I've not seen it on the music channels at all, despite watching them a lot. When I asked my friends if they had heard of WAY, they were clueless so I think it is more of a case of vidcapper *not* living in *America*.

So good to hear that 'Boyfriend' release has been brought forward to Sunday! I can't get enough of the song now, who'd have thought Justin Bieber would mature so well or make a song that I'd like! Crazy! Number 1 next week anyone?
