Joe McElderry, a British pop singer, has released three studio albums, four singles and eight music videos on recording labels Syco and Decca.
McElderry rose to fame after winning The X Factor, Joe instantly signed a million pound record deal with Simon Cowell's company Syco, His debut single "The Climb" debuted at #2 selling over 450,000 copies in its first week of release. The following week, the single went to number one and to this day is McElderry's only number one single. The Climb has currently sold over 1.69 million in the UK. After releasing Wide Awake and not selling enough for Cowell's pleasure, McElderry was dropped. McElderry later signed a record deal with Decca after winning Popstar to Operastar.
