It’s hard to believe, but JLS’s self-titled debut album – one of the biggest UK pop albums of this century – is about to reach its 15th anniversary. Never ones to pass on a celebration, the JLS boys – Oritsé Williams, Aston Merrygold, Marvin Humes and JB Gill – will mark the milestone by releasing ‘J15 – Anniversary Edition’ on November 8th. It’s a new Deluxe Edition of the album which adds four previously unreleased tracks. The quartet launch the record by sharing Paul Woolford’s new ‘Beat Again 15’ remix. Listen HERE.

Rewind back to 2009. After winning a huge audience the previous year with their performances on ‘The X Factor’, JLS’s first two singles – ‘Beat Again’ and ‘Everybody In Love’ – shot to #1 and immediately made them the new kings of the British pop scene. Further fuelled by another Top 10 single in the shape of ‘One Shot’, the ‘JLS’ album instantly catapulted straight to #1. But it was no flash in the pan, spending a total of  nine weeks in the UK Top 10 and reaching 4 x Platinum status in recognition of more than 1.2 million sales. Its popularity spread across Europe, too, with a further million+ sales across the continent.

‘J15 – Anniversary Edition’ is now available to pre-order / pre-save HERE. In addition to digital formats, it will also be released on white double-vinyl (with the original album tracklist followed by the new content on Side D) and on CD.

JLS’s phenomenal success continued long after their debut album. They landed another three #1 singles plus four more Top 10 hits, while their following three studio albums all peaked at #2 or #3. They signed off with 2013’s ‘Goodbye: The Greatest Hits’ but made a triumphant return in 2021. Their arena tour that year saw them perform to over 350,000 fans, and they soared back into the Top 5 with the ‘2.0’ album.
