Murs goes number one, might get naked
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 6 September 2010
So, former ‘X-Factor’ loser Olly Murs has topped the single’s chart with his debut release ‘Please Don’t Let Me Go’, which may or may not result in some nakedness.
Murs did one of those “I’ll go naked if I get to number one” things, and just before this weekend’s chart was released – with the midweeks showing him very much set to top the Top 40 – Murs told The Sun: “I’m looking forward to the naked shoot. I promised I would do it if I got to number one. I’m not sure if everybody’s going to want to see me naked but the picture will be dedicated to the fans who bought the record. I’ll have a wax before I do it. I’m a bit hairy on the top half so I might have to trim that down. I’ll also need to have a little tidy-up down below. It will make it look bigger”.
So, that’s nice. Katy Perry’s ‘Teenage Dream’ went in at number two. She was recently talking about getting it on with Cheryl Cole, though I don’t think that was linked to any chart position. I believe Russell Brand calling off their engagement was the deal there, not Perry’s album going number one, which it did. So, a close shave for Cheryl too.
