January 6, 20196 yr Also interesting to see him totally outdoing the album that kept him off the top spot...
January 19, 20196 yr Author The album's still top 20 this week. Interestingly the 'Excuses' video has now overtaken the 'Moves' video on YouTube with 9.5m hits! I do wonder whether he'll plump for a third single or not before the tour starts in May. If he does I'd go for either 'Feel The Same' or 'You Know I Know' with Shaggy.
January 25, 20196 yr Author Acoustic version of 'Excuses' has been released today: https://open.spotify.com/track/6K61yzLVhs7tMSlXDu22Qn
February 25, 20196 yr Olly is performing on Dancing on Ice this coming week. The promotion should help album sales.
February 25, 20196 yr I imagine he'll be performing Excuses? As an ITV darling he might get the old Overtones trick of singing the song for every skate that week. Or at least one skate for each couple as they are doing two. Would be good album promo.
February 26, 20196 yr Author I imagine he'll be performing Excuses? Promo for 'Excuses' finished over a month ago so I can't imagine it will be - then again it couldn't harm it given it didn't chart in the end. I do wonder what he'll go for as a third single, or if indeed there will be one given that the tour is only a couple of months away now. I'd say go with 'You Know I Know' with Shaggy for a late spring/early summer release but given the derision 'Moves' got met with (not from these quarters, mind) I'm not sure. Maybe 'Feel The Same'?
February 28, 20196 yr Author Olly was on This Morning being interviewed just now - confirmed he'll perform 'Excuses' on Dancing On Ice this weekend. He also worryingly suggested that he doesn't know if he'll do another album after the tour in May :(
February 28, 20196 yr I wouldn't be surprised to see him do more TV projects, perhaps ITV have picked up Happy Hour?
March 3, 20196 yr Great performance on Dancing on Ice. He’s such a solid vocalist live. Edited March 3, 20196 yr by Rossco
March 4, 20196 yr It was a great performance and it has received a good iTunes boost but streaming will wipe that out.
March 4, 20196 yr Author I wouldn't be surprised to see him do more TV projects, perhaps ITV have picked up Happy Hour? I don't know. Admittedly he seems to say this every year with every album but I've reason to believe it might be true this time and it's making me sad :(
March 4, 20196 yr I don't know. Admittedly he seems to say this every year with every album but I've reason to believe it might be true this time and it's making me sad :( He will probably take a break and then come back. This won’t be the end of him. I’ve just booked tickets for May 4th in Glasgow, can’t wait to see him live 😁
March 5, 20196 yr Author New acoustic video from his recent RAK Studios sessions of 'Talking To Yourself' from the album: x9z7QW2i4i0
March 5, 20196 yr I 100% would say this will not be the last we hear of Olly musically. There will be a big gap until the next release but an album will come in the future. That said, he will focus on his tv career which will continue to keep him in the limelight. He has managed 10 years of success and i think his success will continue.
March 9, 20196 yr Author Olly was on Dermot O'Leary's Radio 2 show this morning. He confirmed that 'Feel The Same', the song he did with Nile Rodgers will be the third single. One of my favourites on the album so I'm pleased he's going with that next.
March 13, 20196 yr Author Sweet if slightly bizarre news announced today: Olly is one of the voices of a new cartoon series on Disney Channel. It starts next week and it's called 101 Dalmatian Street - he voices a Cornish Doberman called Spike.
