June 9, 201312 yr YAAAAAY at Disclosure getting the #1 album :cheer: Hopefully with at least 30k sales. (Hai Danny :kink:) :wub: at Olly getting top 5 ahead of Union J as well! Oops at Union J being beaten by a much older XF act with a post-album single :P
June 9, 201312 yr I honestly don't even think #6 is that bad - it's not ideal, but I think it's silly to compare their success to JLS and One Direction. Union J came 4th, failed to make the final, and were bottom 2 on three occasions. People are only making the comparisons because they're an X Factor boyband - but in perspective, a top 10 is very good them. It's not ideal, and Top 5 would've looked better, but it's only a place. I'd say #6 is just momentarily prolonging the inevitable for them. Having just listened to the track, it's absolutely terrible and they don't appear to have a management team who care enough about the whole project to get past the initial couple of singles - if we must have to endure reality tv stars, at least make a bit of an effort with the music you produce for the acts!

June 9, 201312 yr CAN THIS SONG DIE PLEASE. And Union J need to pick a killer song for single #2. Even as a mahoosive fan of them on the show, i got tired of Carry You fairly quickly. If they can get the right material for the follow-up there's no reason why they can't smash with it. And comparing them to Olly is a little silly seeing as Union J weren't even THAT popular on the show and Olly has pretty much established himself as a chart force to be reckoned with.

June 9, 201312 yr I'd say #6 is just momentarily prolonging the inevitable for them.

Oh, I do agree, they probably don't have much of a future, but I don't think it makes them huge flops. They finished in the same place as Misha B, in a series that was watched by a much smaller audience - and have got a better first single peak. They're only being labelled as 'flops' and underachievers in such a way, because they're following in the footsteps of two past big X Factor boybands - but the reality is those two did better in more popular series. It's still obvious they won't last past the first album though.
June 9, 201312 yr Daft Punk :wub: To use a popular phrase, they are the saviour of the official top 3!
June 9, 201312 yr I didn't expect Union J's single to do very well anyway so it's no surprise to see them at #6.
June 9, 201312 yr Still hate Get Lucky, and will never ever ever understand how it's done so unbelievably well, or why it's so overtly popular. It's just monotonous and drab.
June 9, 201312 yr I really want something else to come along that I love as much as Get Lucky as it feels like time to move on... but it's just not happening!
