December 15, 20186 yr Really enjoyed Happy Hour - felt like TFI Friday! Olly would be a great choice for an anarchic entertainment show like this.
December 15, 20186 yr I agree, I thought the show was fantastic - great entertainment and he did such a good job
December 17, 20186 yr Author Really enjoyed Happy Hour - felt like TFI Friday! Olly would be a great choice for an anarchic entertainment show like this. Same - I really enjoyed it! As a format it really suits his personality and his style of entertaining. Hopefully ITV green light it for a series run - here's my review of the show on my blog: https://alexscsb.com/2018/12/16/crazystupid...-15th-december/ One thing that did come to my attention is that the album's tracklisting on Spotify has changed since Friday, and it's now running with 'Excuses' as the lead track, and has the tracklist alternating between one new track from the 'I Know' section and another from the 'You Know' bit. Bit annoying that I now have to do a playlist with the correct sequencing from the original release but nevermind. Also - the performance of 'Excuses' from The One Show last Wednesday. Absolutely gorgeous with the choir added in. His performance on Alan Carr's Christmas show on Channel 4 is on Christmas Day at 10pm, and he's also a guest and performing on one of Chris Evans' last ever Radio 2 breakfast shows this Wednesday morning: Tr2zepxTlw0
December 18, 20186 yr One thing that did come to my attention is that the album's tracklisting on Spotify has changed since Friday, and it's now running with 'Excuses' as the lead track, and has the tracklist alternating between one new track from the 'I Know' section and another from the 'You Know' bit. Bit annoying that I now have to do a playlist with the correct sequencing from the original release but nevermind. Quite a clever idea to try and get a hit out of Excuses. People who are listening to the album for the hits will play Dance With Me Tonight then automatically play Excuses straight after. Whereas before they would just skip the new stuff and go straight for the hits.
December 21, 20186 yr Author Acoustic version of 'Excuses' recorded at RAK Studios in London a couple of weeks ago is now on his YouTube: 1LV2bmNUzJw Olly was also on Loose Women on Wednesday, where he performed 'Dear Darlin' acoustically and was reunited with Stacey Solomon, who's now a panellist on there as they were in the same year of X Factor together: pyxniL08iwY
December 26, 20186 yr Two decent performances of Moves and Christmas(Baby Please Come Home) from Olly on Alan Carr this evening!
December 26, 20186 yr Author I've not seen the performances yet, I'm gonna catch up this morning :D I loved this that I saw on Instagram yesterday. Olly and his family did a 80s themed fancy dress for Christmas, and he went dressed as Freddie Mercury :lol: The tache actually suits him!
January 3, 20196 yr Author The album finished at #28 for the year. 'Excuses' now added to the B list at Radio 2. Video premieres on his VEVO tomorrow morning at 9am. Edited January 3, 20196 yr by ThePensmith
January 4, 20196 yr Author 'Excuses' video is here (albeit six hours late because VEVO cocked up on the upload of it): IffQ0bsRIVU A lot of SRSFACE, yes. 'Dear Darlin' aside, I never find his videos for slower songs that interesting really.
January 4, 20196 yr Album is number 10 this week. The album has maintained a decent chart run so far.
January 6, 20196 yr He's not done bad at all so far considering the drop in album sales and how far into his career he is. The album should easily pass 200k and possible go platinum with more promo throughout the year. Job done he's safe for another album.
