Forgive her for what she's done, she's Young!
Turn your mind back to the year 2012; Tulisa Contostavlos was riding the crest of a very public wave, after becoming Cheryl Cole's defacto replacement on the new-look panel of The X Factor in 2011, by then comfortably the biggest programme in the country and a proper national obsession.
By the next summer, it was time for Tulisa to follow Cheryl's lead and launch a solo career, now with the eyes of the UK as a whole fixed on her. The first single to launch Tulisa as a solo artist, the carefree party anthem Young, was an inspired choice.
Co-produced by Tulisa's former N-Dubz bandmate Fazer, Young is an irrestible slice of dance-pop, which its eye turned directly towards the dancefloor. "Musically it had to be boom, here I am," Tulisa told the Guardian about the track's appeal. "And it had to represent me, even thought it has an urban edge, it also has an Ibiza edge...because I'm in an Ibiza baby."
This week in 2012, Tulisa debuted at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart with Young. During its first week alone, the single shifted over 121,000 chart sales - becoming the highest first-week sales of the year so far.
Entering at Number 1, Young unseated Carly Rae Jepsen's proto-viral hit Call Me Maybe after a month-long stint at the top of the Official Singles Chart, although Young itself only spent one week at Number 1.
To date, Official Charts Company data reveals that Young has chart sales in excess of 498,000 - as well as over 8.1 million combined streams. Young is to date Tulisa's one and only Top 10 hit in the UK - follow-up singles Live It Up feat. Tyga and Sight Of You peaked at Numbers 11 and 18 respectively.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music CriticIn paying tribute to Bob Dylan at a concert held during the opening festivities for the Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Elvis Costello sang an epic, rip-roaring “Like a Rolling Stone,” apparently the first time he’s covered the signature song of his most obvious influence in full in concert. But earlier in the set Costello also did a lesser-known balladic chestnut from the Dylan catalog: “I Threw It All Away.” Of course, that title was the very opposite of the message being sent out by the new museum.
