If you’re looking for a boy band that creates a more urban sound, then Rixton should definitely be next on your playlist.As the summer months draw to a close, can reveal that Ella Henderson’s Ghost and Ed Sheeran’s Sing are the biggest songs of the season.Įlla’s Ghost is today confirmed as the biggest selling song this summer, notching up sales of 578,000 between June and August.Įlla told Official Charts: “I am completely overwhelmed by the success of Ghost! To have one of the biggest selling songs of the year is absolutely insane. The songs Rixton has showcased so far have contained the famous heartbreak theme, but also a more sensual, mature lyric and energy. It still has those influences, but adds the r&b/soul vibe that gives it a new spin. I think Rixton’s music is refreshing, compared to the insistent pop/rock other boy bands are known for. Let The Road will be released on March 3, 2015. In 2015, “Hotel Ceiling” became Rixton’s third single, which is to be followed by their first official studio album, Let The Road. “Wait On Me” followed as the next single after the Me and My Broken Heart EP was released.


The song went on to chart in many countries and peaked at number 14 in the United States. Their first actual single, “Me and My Broken Heart,” wasn’t released until early 2014. The music video received more than a million views, despite the song never being released as a single. In 2013, they released the music video, “Make Out,” which consisted of parodies of popular songs at the time.
