Joe McElderry New Album ‘Classic’ proves a big hit

Joe McElderry has finally put out an album that looks set to be a big success.

The Geordie singer who won Popstar To Operastar earlier this summer, narrowly beating former Steps singer Claire Richards, saw his new album ‘Classic’ enter the charts at number 2 this week.

McElderry shot to fame on the 2009 series of The X Factor, however after disappointing sales of his debut album and it’s subsequent singles, he was dropped from Simon Cowell’s record label.

However, McElderry has landed on his feet and recently signed with Decca, who produced his second album.

Pipping McElderry to the top spot in the album charts, is former Pop Idol winner Will Young who claimed the number one with his fifth studio album ‘Echoes.’
