Tulisa Hits #1 With ‘Young’

Renown for her “triple x factor”, it seems Tulisa‘s career has actually been boosted her now infamous “tape”.

For, her debut solo single ‘Young’ rocketed straight in at #1 on the Official UK Singles Chart today. Having amassed a string of top-ten’s with her former group NDubz, ‘Young’ also earns the honor of serving as the 23 year old’s first career chart-topper – both solo and as part of the London-bred collective.

***********

Despite the shocking levels of “generic” the song is coated in, what isn’t a surprise is that it’s been a success. Much like the Cheryl Coles and other talent-strapped acts before her, Tulisa has morphed into a “tabloid celebrity” – a hat she wears readily and willfully.

And why not? After all, these days it’s easier for the “basic” to generate and capitalise on scandal as a means of promotion, instead of actually earning success. The end result, as seen here, are number ones. Congratulations?

Your thoughts?

    I have to say singles charts are crap nowadays, we all know it. But the UK one… seriously. Way worse than the Billboard hot100, way way worse. Thank God for the albums charts where the intesting thing is at (not that great nowadays either but you know)

    Well in IMPORTANT MUSIC NEWS: @chrisbrown and @rihanna are at #1 with “Birthday Cake” remix on the Urban charts (MEDIABASE). Slaystopher and Slayanna made this happen with no promo, no video no nothing LOL. @TGJ perhaps you should post this one!

    @mobwife
    So now you stan for Rihanna (aka the goat you despised so much for two years) just cos your boy collaborated with her again? Haven´t you got your own personality and common sense?
    She is the same talentless model and flop you despised so much. Don´t be so biased. And yes she is also a flop. She has more flopped singles than all the other big acts of the last 2 decades put together (she pushes 6-7 singles per year but only 1 or 2 become a hit, a sad label doll)

    I like the song 🙂 I think it’s rather similar to Rihanna’s ‘We Found Love’ though :/

    Who the hell is a Tulisa? Also, I see its fairly easy to get a #1 in the UK.

  8. Sam Says it May 6, 2012

    I’m with sam on this one
    that response she did on youtube? very self indulgent
    “dont judge me, remember when you judge someone, your the person being judged?” Smh

    @pytfromal

    exactly!! Who???!! And both you and @johnvidal are right. Anyone can have a hit in the uk, if nobody’s and irrelevant people(in the rest of the world) always do!!

    Ewww she’s ugly and gross and I remembered her group when I lived in London. They sucked big balls sooooo bad. Very local and pedestrian.

  15. LTM (Tonight Im Dressin Up For You) May 6, 2012

    Why do all these chicks in the U.K come out of the wood works and hit #1? I have honestly never heard of her until today.

    LOL, oops and that was a quote! ”

    I WAS QUOTING SOMEONE ELSE! SO YOU CAN KILL THAT NOISE! My point was that EVERYONE and THEIR MOTHER COMPLAINED about the duets that Chris and Rihanna made! Ppl claimed it would end his career and also hers but damn –> #1 on the Urban Charts 0_O? That’s a far cry from their careers being over WAS MY OVERARCHING POINT!

    #Teambreezy “dear heart” don’t get it twisted!

    Well, I agree with what you wrote, but not with all of it. Regardless, it’s all good material. Thanks!
