^ IMO 'You Don't Know Love' is one of the strongest songs of his career, let alone from this album!

Everyone to their own, every song by any artist has different appeal.

Just confirmed tonight he's on Alan Carr's new show next Friday on Channel 4...

Yeah, You Don't Know Love is easily one of Olly's best ever.

Definitely!

 

It's second only to 'Heart Skips a Beat' for me.

Great performance at Jingle Bell Ball for Capital FM last night - performances are on YouTube now. He filmed his performance for TOTP Christmas today as well!

You Dont Know love is middle of the road for me, i prefer Grow Up.

He performs "Back Around" from the album on The National Lottery tonight at 10.40pm on BBC One. The album stayed top 5 again this week too and is 80k off going platinum!

Top 5 again this week and possibly on track to take the number 4 position. The album should sell close to 50,000 this week meaning platinum is possible the week after.

Olly's just released an acoustic EP of five of the songs from the album for Christmas that's out today :)

Successful album for Olly - was unsure after the shaky start to the singles campaign but I guess Olly has transitioned into a solid album selling artist like Robbie, Buble etc., without the need for a huge charting single, like so many acts streaming is heavily against him.

His full VEVO Presents gig in Berlin this month is now online:

 

I bought this album recently and I love it.

It just goes to show that you don't need a massive single to sell an album!

I think it shows how chart positions are becoming less and less relevant - years ago it was all about clocking up as many Top 10 hits as possible to sell an album.

 

Olly's first 2 singles from this era both went silver so he is still selling a decent amount but doesn't have the 'Top 10'smash' status to go with them.

Album has now gone platinum :) He's performing at the live BRIT nominations launch Saturday after next.

His promo has been on point this era - he has not missed an opportunity to plug the singles or album.

He certainly has done the promotion trail very well. Olly is still managing to remain relevant and sell decent levels of albums which is impressive for an artist on a fifth album. I see the album selling a further 100,000 or possibly more.

 

No official word from the man himself yet, but after performing it as a part of a medley with 'Troublemaker' and 'Wrapped Up' with some of the contestants on 'Let it Shine' last night it would seem as if 'Unpredictable' is shaping up to be single number four off the album. Wouldn't mind that a bit as it's one of my favourites on there.

 

The arena tour starts in less than a month. He posted from behind the scenes at the filming of the tour screens at Elstree on his Instagram last week. He's also just announced today he's doing two shows in Dubai and Abu Dhabi at the end of April. Still no word on a European tour!

So the arena tour is almost at an end - he's sold out at the O2 in London tonight and tomorrow and then onto Belfast and Dublin next week. I went to the Bournemouth show on Tuesday just gone and it was IMMENSE. If anyone missed out I'd heartily recommend to book for the summer shows he's doing because it's a real step up from the last tour!

Olly shot the video for his new single in Palm Springs, California yesterday, and as Louisa Johnson is out there filming too (her makeup artist's Instagram confirmed it) it would appear she has a guest contribution to his next single (sort of makes sense why she is supporting him on the summer shows now).

 

No word on which track yet - and indeed if it is a brand new one that's not on 24 HRS - but the smart money amongst fans on Twitter is that either "Deeper" or "Unpredictable" has been re-recorded with her as guest vocalist.
