Pop vocalist Shayne Ward rocketed to fame via the U.K. gift show window The X Factor. Born October 15, 1984, in Manchester, England, Ward number one surfaced in the little-known grouping Destiny before earning attention in some other television system amateur contest, Popstars: The Rivals. Eliminated from the final 30 contestants, he signed with managing director Louis Walsh prior to entering competition on The X Factor in 2005. Tabbed by bookies as the favourite to advance the programme, Ward eked out triumph over rivals Journey South and Andy Abraham by a margin of 1.2 percent of the overall viewer right to vote. His debut single, "That's My Goal," followed in December 2005, selling 313,000 copies in its first-class honours degree mean solar day of gross revenue and topping the U.K. pop charts over the Christmas holiday. "No Promises" followed in the springtime of 2006, reaching the number two bit and scope the point for Ward's self-titled debut LP.
