Only Boys Aloud To Appear On The X Factor Final Weekend

Only Boys Aloud - the world's biggest boy band - have been confirmed to appear on The X Factor final weekend on December 8th, following their success on Britain’s Got Talent earlier this year.
The 140-strong Welsh group release their hugely-anticipated eponymous debut album a couple of days prior to the show on December 3rd, after signing their first major label deal with Relentless Records, a subsidiary of Sony Music.
The album sees the choir marry traditional Welsh songs with an impressive selection of choral versions of more contemporary tracks, including stirring takes on Coldplay’s classic track ‘Paradise’ and Take That’s ‘Never Forget’. A special Christmas edition of the album will also include six beautifully arranged versions of traditional festive numbers, including ‘White Christmas’ and ‘Pie Jesu’.
After OBA performed on ITV1’s prime time show Red or Black on Saturday, the album immediately went to #1 in the Amazon Movers and Shakers chart after a massive jump of 5,270% following the show - so make sure you don’t miss their appearance on the X Factor next month!
The record is brilliant but don’t take our word for it - check out the brand new sampler below. The boys also hit the road in April 2013, and play a number of December Christmas shows with their older counterparts Only Men Aloud.
