i think the most shocking part of this article is " while The Only Way is Essex star Jessica Wright scores a chart placing at 36 with debut single 'Dance All Night'."

Have any radio stations actually played Gangnam Style yet? I am yet to hear it on the radio, yet it is obviously very popular! We love it ;) and the Script song is very good, inspirational really, and we dont get that very often any more.

It's more of a viral hit, but I agree, it's a brilliant song :)

Wow, so The Voice did bring success for a previously unknown artist.

previously unknown?? you are joking I hope?? The Script have been together for over 10 years and had a successful UK tour over a year ago. they also toured Australia before Danny was even on The Voice. maybe people should open their eyes to groups who don't always make it to Number 1 in the UK top 40 "pop" charts and they would realize that there is actually decent music still happening in the world!!
