如果不是《The X Factor》，我想我会在服装店卖衣服打工度过我的圣诞新年。”2005年12月刚刚落下帷幕的英国ITV电视台歌唱比赛真人秀《The X Factor》本届冠军Shayne Ward近日在接受采访时说道。但事实是，因为有了《The X Factor》，Shayne的圣诞新年没有在打工卖衣服，取而代之的是在“卖”他的个人单曲CD——《That's My Goal》，而且是“大卖特卖”中。 根据英国TOP 40单曲音乐榜显示，在《The X Factor》总决赛结束当天推出的Shayne个人单曲CD早已名列榜首，更为吃惊的是，其销售量比榜上其他所有另外39名总销售量之和还要高。而且值得一提的是，据统计，Shayne的单曲网上下载量也已经创造了新的吉尼斯世界纪录，并且数字还在不断增长当中。 随着第二主打单曲No Promises的推出,他的首张个人同名专辑《Shayne Ward》也终于上市.让我们期待他的更好的成绩.这张专辑可听性个人觉得还不错的,可以说都还值得一听的,当然最值得推荐的还是主打,也是让他走上冠军宝座的That's My Goal. The nation voted for him in their millions to crown him winner of The X Factor 2005 and his record-breaking debut single "That's My Goal" stormed to the top of the charts giving him the Christmas No.1. This 13-track album, which includes his second single "No Promises"sees Shayne working with some of the biggest producers in the music industry, including Steve Mac, Jorgen Elofsson, Quiz/Larossi, Per & David and Cutfather & Joe. Since his crowning moment last December, in less than three months, Shayne Ward has achieved unprecedented success. He entered the Guinness World Record book for the most downloaded track in one day, claimed the Christmas No.1, selling over a million records, received a Brit Award nomination, headlined the X Factor UK tour playing to over 180,000 people and completed his debut album. As superstar status beckons and with his long-term future assured, Shayne mania is sweeping the nation, and it's contagious. (转自Amazon.co.uk)
