We're going pop for our fourth entry into Broken Records (originally aired on Riot Act #87 3rd April 2020) as Remfry and Steve take a look back at Eoghan Quigg, the self-titled debut (and only) album from The X-Factor 2008 second runner-up. Eoghan Quigg was savaged by critics. Jon O'Brien of AllMusic described the album as “bad karaoke”, with deficient production values failing to hide Quigg's “limited ability” and “bum notes”. Nick Levine of Digital Spy called it “amateurish as well as utterly redundant”. One track singled out for criticism by multiple reviewers was the cover of Take That's “Never Forget”, the vocal performance on which was described by Levine as “positively wince-inducing”. Gigwise placed the record at number one in their “The 20 Worst Albums of 2009” in December of that year.
