The Wanted Lost Their Minds in 2010

2010 CHART REWIND. It all looked very promising as WelcheMusic cheered The Wanted’s chart career. “All Time Low” crushed all competition and landed the No.1 spot in a beat, while “Heart Vacancy” bowed at No.2. The UK welcomed the latest boy band with open arms. Something happened, however, when the third single was released. Despite performing their last hit single “Lose My Mind” on The X Factor, the song entered at No.29 – an all time low for the band. This week it moves 29-19. In Ireland, the single peaked at No.43.

WelcheMusic is still impressed with the lineup of producers for this track. Rami’s discography includes Backstreet Boys’ “Shape of My Heart,” Britney Spears’s “…Baby One More Time” and *NSync’s “It’s Gonna Be Me.” Carl Falk has worked with Glee’s Matthew Morrison and Westlife while The Wideboys remixed tracks for Enrique Iglesias, Cheryl Cole and Katy Perry.

WelcheMusic still thinks that The Wanted makes excellent poppy tunes and knows that there are plenty of tracks off the debut album deserving to become pop singles.

UPDATE 02-05: The Wanted will launch the 2011 Comic Relief single – bound for a No.1 position.

Matt Cardle Has the Xmas No.1

CHART SPOTLIGHT. The former painter and decorator Matt Cardle took home the X Factor crown this year. You might remember last year’s coup when Rage Against the Machine stole the “traditional” X Factor Christmas No.1 from Joe McElderry. No worries this year, when Matt Cardle vaults into No.1 with the Biffy Clyro cover “When We Collide.” Originally titled “Many of Horrors” the track was released by Biffy Clyro in January this year, reaching No.8 in the UK.

Back to Cardle, the singer won a £1m recording contract with Syco Music. The runner-up of this year’s X Factor, Rebecca Ferguson, performed a duet with Christina Aguilera – “Beautiful” – on stage. Her “winner song” was Duffy’s “Distant Dreamer,” and had she won track would probably top the charts this week.

Lionel Richie to Tour Australia

Lionel Richie is to tour Australia next year and is scheduled to perform at several winery events in March 2011. It’s also confirmed that the singer will appear on A Day on the Green Concerts in Victoria, NSW and South Australia – the event’s 10 year anniversary.

The tour will be supported by the X Factor judge Guy Sebastian. The Adelaide group Lowrider will open the shows. Née Lionel Brockman Riche in 1949, the American singer-songwriter and record producer has sold more than 100m records.

To date, Lionel Richie has achieved five US No.1 singles. The last one being “Say You, Say Me” from 1985.

Joe McElderry Sings New Narnia Song

Just a few hours ago, the brand new Joe McElderry single was available for digital download. “Someone Wake Me Up” is the third single off his Wide Awake album. The video will contain clips from The Chronicles of Narnia: the Voyage of the Dawn Treader, but the song will not appear in the actual movie. Oddly enough, the B-side – “There’s a Place for Us”- will be played during the credits of the film. Joe McElderry made his debut a year ago (“The Climb”), as the X-Factor winner who was denied the Xmas No.1. This October he made a cover of the Norwegian group Donkeyboy’s “Ambitions.”
