Contrary to press claims of being the underdog, after having beaten the widely accepted front-runner Gareth Gates in the final show, it emerged that Young had in fact gained the most votes in six out of the nine rounds of public voting. This was published in the Pop Idol book, which was released shortly after the programme. The songs Young sang on the show were: * Audition - "Blame It on the Boogie" by the Jackson 5 * London Rounds (Day 1 - first round): "Up on the Roof" by The Drifters * London Rounds (Day 1 - second round): "All or Nothing" by O-Town * London Rounds (Day 2): "Fastlove" by George Michael * Top 50 (Semi Finals): "Light My Fire" by The Doors * Top 10 (Your Pop Idol): "Until You Come Back to Me" by Aretha Franklin * Top 9 (Christmas Songs): "Winter Wonderland" * Top 8 (Burt Bacharach Songs): "Wives and Lovers" sung by Jack Jones * Top 7 (Movie Hits): "Ain't No Sunshine" by Bill Withers * Top 6 (ABBA Songs): "The Name of the Game" by ABBA * Top 5 (Big Band Hits): "We Are in Love" by Harry Connick Jr * Top 4 (No 1 Hits): "Night Fever" by The Bee Gees; "There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)" by the Eurythmics * Top 3 (Judges' Choice): "Beyond the Sea" sung by Bobby Darin; "I Get the Sweetest Feeling" by Jackie Wilson * Top 2 (Grand Finale): "Anything Is Possible"; "Light My Fire" by The Doors; "Evergreen" by Westlife [edit] Post-Idol career [edit] Recording Young's first single was a double A-side featuring Westlife's song "Evergreen" and "Anything Is Possible", a new song written for the winner of the show by Chris Braide and Cathy Dennis. In March 2002, this became the fastest-selling debut in UK chart history, selling 403,027 copies on its day of release (1,108,659 copies in its first week). It went on to sell over 1.7 million copies, and on the official list of the all-time best-selling singles in the UK issued later that year, it was ranked eleventh. "Anything Is Possible" won an Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. In October 2002, Young released his debut album, From Now On, which included "Evergreen" and "Anything Is Possible". It produced three singles: "Light My Fire", "The Long and Winding Road" (a duet with Gareth Gates, released as a double A-side with Gates's song "Suspicious Minds") and "Don't Let Me Down"/"You and I" (released in aid of Children in Need). He won his first BRIT Award in February 2003 as Best Breakthrough Artist[2]. Young's second album, Friday's Child, was released in December 2003. It features the singles "Leave Right Now", "Your Game" (which won Young his second BRIT Award in 2005)[3] and "Friday's Child". In November 2005, Young released his third album, Keep On, which included the single "All Time Love", nominated in the Best British Single category at the 2007 BRIT Awards. Other singles from the album were "Switch It On" and "Who Am I". Young has been nominated for eight BRIT Awards. In May 2006, he was voted the UK's favourite artist ever in a poll conducted by commercial radio. In May 2007, he was voted the UK's favourite artist of all time for the second consecutive year. In November 2007, Young's official website reported that he was in Los Angeles working on his fourth album, and had amassed a large number of tracks from which he would be making a short list for the album. On 29 September 2008, the album, entitled Let It Go, will be released, preceded by the single "Changes", which is to be released on 14 September.[4] [edit] Performing In early 2002, Young joined his fellow Pop Idol contestants in a nationwide arena tour. The final concert at Wembley was in aid of The Prince's Trust, of which Young is an ambassador, together with Gareth Gates and Darius Danesh, the runner-up and third-placed contestant in Pop Idol. In June 2002, Young performed at the Queen's Jubilee Concert in the grounds of Buckingham Palace, singing "We Are the Champions" with Queen members Brian May and Roger Taylor.[5] During July 2002, Young sang at two concerts with the renowned songwriter Burt Bacharach at Hammersmith Apollo and at the Liverpool Summerpops event. In August 2002, he performed at the closing ceremony of the 2002 Commonwealth Games, singing "I Get the Sweetest Feeling" in the pouring rain. He was praised by the announcer, Grandmaster Flash, who said that it was not easy entering a talent show. November 2002 brought an appearance at the Royal Command Performance.[6] In November 2003, Young performed the wartime song "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square", accompanied by The Squadronaires, at the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
