February 11, 201510 yr I can't see Radio 1 getting behind this personally, but I'm sure Capital will!

February 12, 201510 yr It has an unfortunate resemblance to... There's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza, There's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, a hole. Dont like it, but he seems a nice fella, I wish him well.
February 12, 201510 yr Underwhelmed on first listen, having read the extremely positive reaction here beforehand! I don't know why, but I was expecting the song to be very melodic and it's definitely lacking in that regard for me - it all feels a little clunky. Also, as a rule I'm not a fan of choruses consisting of spelt out words. :drama: That said, his voice sounds great and it's quite a bold debut single musically so I definitely think he has a lot of potential to make a convincing popstar. I was a fan of him on the show and, aside from Tamara, he clearly had the most charisma/star power in his series so I'd like to see him do well.
March 28, 201510 yr Author So this is out NOW :D Alongside an EP containing a remix and the acoustic version of Hole in My Heart, plus a new acoustic song called Love & War. Really hoping this track can make the top 40, the pre-orders were impressive for a song that's had absolutely NO radio support. Such a shame really, but I think it can make the top 40!
March 29, 201510 yr Author :lol: I keep comparing its progress on pre-orders to Lighthouse, and how it's done considerably better so should at least make higher than #55. It went top 90 when the pre-order was first added, and has been in and out of the top 1500 ever since. The past week or so it's been top 700 at *least*, which is far better than Lighthouse did. I think it should make the top 40, fingers crossed anyway :(
March 29, 201510 yr Yeah it does stand a decent chance but I just feel (lack of) streaming might push it out :(
March 29, 201510 yr Climbing quite strongly on iTunes, up to #68 --->- 61 ----> 54 so far.... Edited March 29, 201510 yr by JimmyT

I didn't expect streaming to have harmed him THAT much this early in the week.
April 1, 201510 yr Author I think it's just very tight sales gaps between #16 and #27! He's safely within the top 40 right now, Charli XCX is at #41 and would need to sell 4k more than him for him to end up behind her on Sunday. I can't see that happening when she only sold ~100 copies more yesterday!
