How can you say singles doing just ok, it went straight in at #5 in its first week of release, all his solo singles have gone into the top ten. His album may have only charted at #29 but some of the biggest albums recorded have taken a long time to get high up the charts. With the release of his fourth single 7 ways coming up in November I'm sure we'll see how talented Abs really is

Yes - back when most albums use to first chart really low then climb up. Unless his next single is phenomenal (and being Abs, I highly doubt that) then I wouldn't bet on his album ever reaching the top 10.

I read on one.tel music news that he is filming the video for the fourth single now and it shows his lovely chest again. The problem he had was that the album was released so late, didn't he want it released last year to capitalise on the success of the singles he had out then? Or did I get the wrong end of the stick?

Video was filmed last week in LA, should be aired mid-october. (pix from it were in the paper the other day actually.. not bad at all) He did want the album out earlier, but Simon Cowell put the boot in, holding up all sorts (whilst getting himself famous on Pop Idol *coughs*), so the original release plans were shelved, and Abs moved from Cowell's label to BMG. He went to New York in February to work with different producers, thought the tunes they came up with there were better that what he had originally, and they rescheduled the album for September. Um... think that's about it really.

"heading towards the dumper" isn't based on fact!! Loads of people have recovered from initially poor album sales. Don't want to argue but the album is genuinely very good. I'm not an Abs fan but it does seem unfair to me how the poor bloke continuely seems to get slated when he's produced a great album and is better than most of the mass produced rubbish out there. xx (Jen, Listen to the album it's suprisingly good..)

No we listened to his album without any pre-judgment.
