X Factor made Olly Murs a star - but it also divided his family (dailymail.co.uk) Olly Murs has already conquered double No.1 success with this new album as well as the current single Trouble Maker Ft. Flo-Rida. There aren’t many artists who can say they’ve achieved that.
Murs sixth X Factor series back in 2009 really boosted his career.
He was the runner up to winner Joe McElderry, who has not achieved nowhere near the same success. Five million plus records sold worldwide album number 1 in 2010, creatively called Olly Murs, was followed a year later by his second album In Case You Didn’t Know Olly Murs' 'Right Place Right Time' album debuts at No. 1 in the U.K. (examiner.com).
