Impressing the judges and voting audience week after week with his natural charm, pop star looks, and impeccable vocal talent, he made the whole thing look easy. It rapidly became apparent that here was a singer with the gift and determination to go the distance in the competition, and in the wider pop arena.

Luckily, Eoghan’s considerable fanbase, whose loyal voting propelled him to the final of the competition, will not have too long to wait before his debut album hits the shops. The lead track is ‘28,000 Friends’, a power-pop anthem about the ups and downs of love and longing in a social networking world, and harking back to the guitar-driven sounds of Busted in their hey-day. In addition the self-titled album ‘Eoghan Quigg’ offers fans brand new versions of songs Eoghan performed on the X Factor, including ‘We’re All In This Together’, ‘Ben’ and ‘Never Forget’. The album is released on April 6th.

Eoghan commented, “I loved my time on the X Factor, and am eternally grateful to everyone who voted for me! Recording my album was a dream come true for me, and I couldn’t have got here without their support. I’m really proud of the result, and I hope they like it too!”

The album “Eoghan Quigg”, including “28,000 Friends” will be released by RCA Records on April 6th 2009
