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.
