About JLS

Formed in 2008, JLS, an acronym for “Jumping, Loving, Singing,” burst onto the music scene with a meteoric rise to stardom. Their journey began in earnest after they reached the final of the fifth series of The X Factor in 2008, where their undeniable talent and captivating chemistry immediately captured the hearts of the nation. Following their impressive runner-up finish, they signed a record deal and released their debut single, “Beat Again,” which stormed to the top of the UK Singles Chart, marking the first of many chart-topping hits.

Over the next few years, JLS cemented their status as pop royalty, delivering a string of incredibly successful singles and albums. Their music is characterised by its upbeat tempo, soulful R&B influences, and infectious pop hooks, often featuring smooth vocal harmonies from the four members. Notable hits that became singalong anthems for a generation include the powerful ballad “Everybody in Love,” the energetic dancefloor filler “The Promise,” the feel-good track “One Shot,” and the romantic plea of “She Makes Me Feel.” Their albums consistently achieved platinum status, showcasing their ability to craft commercially successful and critically acclaimed music. Beyond their chart success, JLS were renowned for their dynamic live performances, often featuring elaborate choreography, engaging stage banter, and a palpable sense of fun that resonated with their vast and loyal fanbase. After a highly successful run, the group embarked on a farewell tour in 2013, leaving a significant mark on the British music landscape. Their reunion tours and new music since then have only served to reaffirm their enduring popularity and the strong bond they have with their fans, proving that their star power remains as bright as ever.
