Shayne Ward music career
Fans of the performer will know that his debut single That’s My Goal was released in the UK on 21 December 2005.
It reached number one on the UK Singles Chart making it the country’s Christmas number one.
It sold 313,000 copies on its first day of sales, making it the third-fastest-selling single of all time in the UK, behind Elton John‘s Candle in the Wind in 1997 and Will Young‘s Evergreen.
In 2011, Shayne was dropped by Syco after his third album Obsession failed to reach the top of the charts.
In 2015, he released a new album Closer as an independent artist, funded through PledgeMusic.
Last year, Shayne revealed he was “gutted” that he could not appear on The X Factor All Stars due to a contractual obligation with Kay Mellor’s Band Of Gold.
Singer Leona Lewis was reportedly set to go head-to-head against Ray Quinn on the planned celebrity version of The X Factor.
However, Simon Cowell eventually scrapped the show, reportedly because Leona backed out.
Is the Shayne Ward song Crazy In Love a cover of the Beyoncé classic?
That’s a reasonable question to ask, but the simple answer is no. Crazy In Love by Shayne Ward is not the same song as Crazy In Love by Beyoncé featuring Jay-z.
