British Boyband JLS To Release New US Album August 3rd!

One of Britain's biggest boybands are making a play for the United States.

JLS, who came in second place on The X Factor two years ago, has been rocking the British shores with #1 hits like "Beat Again", "Everybody In Love", and their latest "Club Is Alive". Now, after the mild success of "Everybody In Love" on pop radio, they are releasing their debut album as an extended play. The album will have six tracks on it, including the four singles they've released in the United Kingdom. Meanwhile, UK fans will be treated to a brand new album from the foursome in November.

While I think "Club Is Alive" is a steaming pile of dog mess, I do hope they can find success here in the States. No one has really been as successful as Leona Lewis, and it seems like Alexandra Burke's US plans have been dropped. Even though the group annoyed me to no end when they were on X Factor, I can recognize that they have the best chance for transatlantic success, so good luck to them. It would've been smarter for them to release another single, like "Beat Again", but who knows? They might do well with it.
