Tulisa didn't really want her new single to do that well anyway

  • September 18, 2012
  • Brad O'Mance

Tulisa's claimed she didn't want her current single to get to Number One actually thank you very much.

Talking to BBC Newsbeat about the fact that the properly awful 'Live It Up' entered the chart at Number 11 on Sunday, she explained: "I said I don't know if it will even get in to the top ten."

Well, that's lucky isn't it.

"With that single it was strategic to sell the album. I'm not trying to get a number one with this one," she went on. "I know it's urban. I know that it's probably not going to chart high. I want to show a different side to the album."

'The shit side', pre­sum­ably.

With perfect timing, she also 'revealed' that she'd been chatting to Dappy about a possible N‑Dubz reunion.

"Yesterday I met up with Dappy," she continued. "We have been chilling out together and the three of us are in talks about setting a date to reunite."

Mind you, Fazer's not exactly sure about it all.

"We [he and Dappy] had a funny con­ver­sa­tion over the weekend, you never know. An N‑Dubz reunion may be in a year's time or two. Not that long, it's not an Oasis type split."

Mark your diaries.
