JLS

JLS, short for Jack the Lad Swing, were runners up in the popular ITV talent show The Xfactor.

Subsequently being signed to Epic Records the band achieved significant chart success throughout 2009 with their first two single releases going to number 1 in the UK CD singles charts.

The band’s first album which sold over one million copies earned JLS significant respect in the UK helping them in winning Best British Breakthrough at the 2010 Brit Awards as well as best British Single with Beat Again.

Below is the full range of JLS albums and songs available in CD and MP3 download.

JLS have admitted they would consider teaming up with The Saturdays to write and record a festive song.

(BANG) -

JLS want to duet with The Saturdays.

The 'Everybody In Love' hitmakers are close friends with the girl band - with their respective singers Marvin Humes and Rochelle Wiseman in a relationship - and would leave to team up to record a special festive track.

Singer Jonathan 'JB' Gill said: "Will we see a JLS/ Saturdays duet? Wow. I don't know but we'd do it in a shot.

"We'd love to do a song with the girls. A Christmas number one maybe? Watch this space."

The quartet are big Take That fans but can't imagine anyone leaving their group and rejoining later, the way Robbie Williams has done - but they admit they never know what the future holds.

Oritse Williams said: "Who would do a Robbie? None of us. We're all here to stay but who knows what the future holds.

"There are cycles for everything and Take That are a great example to follow. They disbanded, everyone went their own way and did different things, then they all came back together. What's to say that won't happen for us?"

JLS did not expect success in the US and claim they will happily work for as long as it takes to become successful across the Atlantic.

JLS didn't expect to break the US market for "years".

The British boyband - who rose to fame on UK TV talent show 'The X Factor' - didn't expect US radio stations to play their music, and are prepared to work hard to turn the support into success.

Ortise Williams - who stars in the band alongside Aston Merrygold, JB Gill and Marvin Humes - said: "Coming to the States this soon wasn't part of our plan. We hoped it might happen in a few years, maybe once we had broken in Europe. Then radio stations started playing our music without knowing who we were.

"We were offered a deal and asked to come and meet the people supporting us.

JB added: "We're not complaining. Even to be given an opportunity over here is amazing. We're starting from scratch and we don't expect success overnight.

"We'll do this for a year - or two or three, if that's what it takes. We'd rather do it right than rush it.

"It can be hard to get up at 4am when you've been working until 1am, but we're four best friends who get to sing every day and see the world. We're having the time of our lives and we're determined to enjoy every second of it."

The band also relish the opportunity to meet people in the US, and think of everyone they come into contact with as a "potential fan".

Williams added to Culture: "We consider everyone we meet a potential fan. Plus sometimes they give us free meals."
