Eoghan Quigg is the only studio album by Northern Irish pop singer Eoghan Quigg, released on 6 April 2009. Quigg, who finished third in the fifth series of the UK television talent show The X Factor, was the first of the finalists from that series to release a studio album. The record predominantly features cover versions of songs that Quigg performed on The X Factor, and one original song, "28,000 Friends".
On its release, the album was described by multiple critics as the worst ever recorded...
"A Popjustice reviewer predicted that it would garner a lasting legacy as such, having been “recorded so cheaply and with such little regard for the art of pop that the final product simply does not count as music.”
I’ve previously given the Fast Food Rockers and Cheeky Girls albums a full listen during quiet hours at work, so I guess this is the logical next step.

I am up for this but can’t commit this afternoon.
Think there’s a lot of mileage in this concept.
