August 16, 201212 yr I see the Buble comparisons with 'I Blame Hollywood' which is a rip off of 'Haven't Met You Yet'.
August 23, 201212 yr Author Play.com have confirmed the album's release date of 26th November - they now have pre-order pages to get the standard edition SIGNED and there's also gonna be a deluxe version of the album available too!

August 25, 201212 yr That comment didnt make sense. This will have very similar sales to the last two i'd say, maybe even a little more like his second one outsold his debut by a bit. What are the sales of those two at the moment? In Case You Didn't Know sold 833,900 as of last Sunday according to the Year To Date thread and his debut has sold at least 715k. Like you said his second album has outsold his first which showed his popularity increasing whereas many artists, especially XF ones, seems to be biggest on their debut. It might be true that sales won't be as high with the album market shrinking, but I think it's safe to say he will have one of the biggest sellers of the year. Personally, I'm looking forwards to this, I hope this continues the sound of his second album, I didn't really care for him on XF or the first era, but I'm starting to really enjoy his music after giving his albums a proper listen. And people might say he's an album artist, but he does have some big selling singles it has to be said, he does quite well in both markets.
August 28, 201212 yr According to Popjustice forums, the new album will be called 'Right Place Right Time'. This is apparently how it was revealed: Funny story, during Rita Ora's recent live stream, they didn't realise they were recording live and Rita and Olly were talking and he blurted out some info about the album photoshoot and album details. There face when they found out they were live (PRICELESS) Don't know if its true!
August 28, 201212 yr Author Bloody hell what is it? First JLS accidentally leak their album title before they're supposed to, now Olly...dingbats! Still, am excited if it is indeed the title - it's a VERY Olly title!
August 28, 201212 yr He replied to somebody on twitter saying new single is out in November, guessing the week before the album is released. Wonder why he is only releasing 1 single before the album instead of 2 like the previous 2 albums?
August 28, 201212 yr Author He replied to somebody on twitter saying new single is out in November, guessing the week before the album is released. Wonder why he is only releasing 1 single before the album instead of 2 like the previous 2 albums? Well we would have had the first single from it like with the last two albums if it hadn't been for that stupid One Direction tour in the US which has been more trouble than it was worth.
August 29, 201212 yr The trend will be interesting to watch with his third album, album 2 has sold around 100,000 more than his debut, can his third album do the same against the 2nd album. Based on his music to date, i hope so, he has his own style and no one else in the charts is offering the same sounding style.
August 29, 201212 yr For some reason I think this one isn't going to do as well as the other two. Releasing only one single before it is a bad idea in itself, no one can get away with that unless you're Beyonce/Rihanna/Gaga.
August 29, 201212 yr Author Robbie released a lot of his albums with one single to launch them. So do Take That! He won't have any trouble at all :)
August 30, 201212 yr I think he's established himself enough to launch off the back of one single now. 'Dance With Me Tonight' didn't reach number 1 until sometime after the album was released anyway, did it? I think he'll be fine as long as he keeps on promoting. He tends not to promote much after the albums been released. I think his singles nearly always give his albums a bigger boost anyway. So I can see it working for him.
August 30, 201212 yr Author Pics of Olly out today modelling for the autumn/winter 2012 range of Robbie Williams' clothing label Farrell: Looking very dapper! Although you wouldn't believe it was shot at end of May when it was that really boiling hot week, would you? In other news he seems to have gone eerily quiet on the whole 'Right Place Right Time' thing.
September 1, 201212 yr Author Shoot for the album artwork/singles artwork/press shots took place yesterday at a derelict railway station in Essex that's literally 5 minutes down the road from me! I'd have gone if I'd known...ah well am seeing him tomorrow in Chelmsford so not all lost. He Tweeted the following teasers from Instagram. Seems to be a bit of 40's/50's vibe styling wise! http://distilleryimage4.s3.amazonaws.com/f9a52048f3ad11e1990322000a1e9bb9_7.jpg http://distilleryimage9.s3.amazonaws.com/5ecd25fcf3b711e19c2822000a1e8ab9_7.jpg
September 4, 201212 yr Author Olly confirmed on Capital at iTunes Festival that first single premieres in 3/4 weeks' time. He's said that it's 'a really cool new direction but in a good way. It's a good pop record'. Bring it on!
September 11, 201212 yr Author Would appear that he's doing his first European tour next year! Dates in Zurich, Stockholm and Copenhagen confirmed for April 2013...I imagine there'll be some German ones before too much longer as well.
September 11, 201212 yr Leyton Bracegirdle @LeytonB Other highlights of Sony day were @ollyofficial new single feat. Flo Rida, Troublemaker and new @Labrinthda1st vid feat. @emelisande Flo Rida? With Olly? Oh god.
September 11, 201212 yr So looking at that his new single will be called 'Troublemaker' featuring Flo Rida - didn't expect that at all.
September 11, 201212 yr Author The Flo Rida inclusion worries me somewhat! I A) hope this is good and B) hope they haven't made him go all American on us for this album...still the album title is wicked!
