Typical Louis spin.
Their album will stiff everywhere except Ireland.
ps; the one single they released? Wut? They released All the small things and it peaked at about 75...then didnt even bother releasing another as a result. Until Lipstick....which reached no40 after eurovision. Woohoo.

They are still there though Zippy, I believe their future will be in Television, in time they are likely to head into an Ant and Dec status, where they will be head hunted for lots of shows on TV, becusue they generate interest.
I think they will hold onto a lot of the success after Eurovision in Europe and score modest hits again in several countries but its not just about the music anymore, their tours are great for entertainment, its jam packed full of songs and energy, I have yet to hear anyone who has been to their concerts say they hated it.
I have seen them twice,loved every minute.
Ant and Dec started as actors, then singers, but as the music side faded, they moved into TV and are now the premier hosts for near any show that comes on, I think Jedward will be around for as long as they want to be and TV is the avenue they seem to be being geared to, Louis Walsh has done an amazing thing with Jedward,he is helping rake them in the millions.
They always make me smile anyway and they always entertain,they will have that strong core of followers for many years to come yet.
Hit records are not the only pointer of success, some artists sell hundreds of thousands of records yet never ever make the charts.
Jedward are going to be true overall Show business stars and I hope they continue to be for a long time to come. Good luck to them.
