Wide Awake

Wide Awake is the debut album of English pop singer Joe McElderry, winner of the sixth series of British talent competition The X Factor. The album was released digitally on 22 October 2010, with a physical release following on 25 October 2010. The album received broadly mixed-to-positive reviews, praised for its energetic pop production and standout tracks like "Ambitions" and "Real Late Starter," though criticised for heavy production and an uneven artistic identity. Wide Awake debuted at number 3 on the UK Albums Chart and number five on the Irish Albums Chart, and sold over 100,000 copies, but dropped quickly in the weeks following release. The album's singles also saw chart success: "The Climb" reached number 1 in the UK, Ireland, and Scotland and was certified Platinum by the BPI, while "Ambitions" peaked at number 6 in the UK.
