X Factor band JLS have crashed the chart and landed at number one with their debut single ‘Beat Again’.

Our own writer, Gerard McGarry gushed about the song when it was first released saying:

The song, ‘Beat Again’ is urban and contemporary with hints of American hip-hop/R&B. Compare and contrast with our Eoghan’s recent flop! Listen up Louis Walsh!

If Walsh and Cowell had got their hands on JLS, they’d be wearing matching white suits and recycling Osmonds songs for the rest of a very short career.

Instead, they’re playing to their strengths with a frankly, flipping brilliant track (which you can sing T-Pain’s Low along to, by the way). I hope the boys do well with this track and that their fans from the show stay loyal and back the band with the intensity they showed when they voted in their thousands.

It seems like the listeners agree and it is so heartening to see a reality TV act stick to their guns, release music that they like and still succeed. Here’s hoping the boys can keep this up.
