It's a great song but what's so great about the video? It's literally just him sitting around in an empty pub and then singing the song with a backing band. Couldn't get much more of a nondescript video.

"Run This Town" now in its second week on B-list at Radio 2. He also performs on the results show of Strictly next weekend.

Nice! Every little bit of promo helps.

It's behind a paywall but there's a new interview with The Independent here: https://archive.ph/2025.11.15-173514/https://inews.co.uk/culture/music/olly-murs-selfridges-cause-mayhem-never-felt-so-scared-4021557

Interesting interview! He's not the first to find success from X Factor to feel like people in the industry don't take him seriously. James Arthur and Little Mix said similar IIRC.

I think in all cases it has just encouraged them to work even harder, which is something. I'm sure there's people who didn't make it through TV that are viewed in less high regard.

@BooYouWhorelock do you wish to explain what's so funny?

I hear the title track is a cover of Knees Up Mother Brown
