Jukebox (JLS album)

The band began recording their third studio album in April 2011, and stated that they had co-written 16 tracks that could possibly appear. In June 2011, the band announced that they had finished recording the album, and that out of a possible 30 songs, had to decide which tracks would appear on the album. The band stated at the time that they had been recording collaborations with Bruno Mars, Rihanna, Usher and Craig David - however, none of these appear on the album. The album's lead single, "She Makes Me Wanna", a collaboration with American singer Dev, was released on 24 July 2011, peaking at #1 on the UK Singles Chart and de-throning fellow boyband The Wanted's second number one single, "Glad You Came". The album's second single, "Take A Chance On Me", was premiered on 20 September, with band member Oritse commenting, "It's the most personal song we've ever done." The group will tour the United Kingdom in 2012 promoting the album, with more than 20 dates confirmed for their 4th Dimension Tour, due to start in March 2012. ==Singles==

Jukebox received mixed reviews from music critics. The Guardians Caroline Sullivan felt that Jukebox "sticks to the urban-pop recipe that has netted them five number one singles in two years. A couple of songs do diverge from the synths-and-gloss formula [...] This jukebox needs restocking – next time, how about something that makes more play of their Britishness?" Metro found that Jukebox "never stretches beyond JLS's excitable young fanbase, and unfortunately the album feels a bit one-track," while David Smyth, writing for The Evening Standard, described the album as "all-gloss pop for short attention spans." He concluded: "It's all over quickly, at least." ==Track listings==
