Fired Up: Reloaded

'Fired Up: Reloaded' is the deluxe version of Australian-British-Irish boy band Weekend's chart topping debut album; Fired Up. The album was released on 16th September 2012 through Chaos Records. This was the groups first album released through Chaos Records as the standard version of Fired Up was released through the now defunct Angel Music Records. The album includes the singles Everything About You, Smile About It and Fired Up alongside 8 new original songs (including Lock It Up, 2 covers and an acoustic version of 'Smile About It'.
==Background & Development==
After the group was formed by Lyrica Ocha, they started to work on their debut album straight away. Weekend have expressed an unusual dislike towards house and dance music which is a current musical trend. They stated that the album is influenced by good old fashioned feel good pop. Most songs on the album have been produced by Georgie James.
The boys are unable to release their sophomore album until 2013 so Weekend decided to put together a re-release of their debut album so that fans have something to listen to whilst they take a break from recording after the tour. The first single from this re-release was Lock It Up.
==Cover Art==
The official cover art was revealed by the group via their official Twitter account on Monday 9th April. Due to the album being a re-release the boys didn't participate in a new photoshoot for the artwork. Instead 5 individual pictures of the boys have been edited together and tinted with their favourite colours; Scott (Sunset Orange), Riley (Cool Mint Green), Billy (Wisteria), Oscar (Cherry Red) & Dustyn (Baby Blue). Another reason for no new photoshoot was because of busy personal schedules and events. Such as the hosting of the Chaos Awards V, Dustyn being stabbed and flying to Vancouver to film Echo.
==Chart Performance==
The re-release is expected to chart well due to the groups current high demand and popularity. However it is unsure whether the album will receive a lot of promotion due to it being a re-release. Also it is unknown if the album will be eligible to chart due to it being essentially their first album only re-worked.
==Singles==
Everything About You was the lead single from the album and was released on 22nd January 2012. The single went straight in at No.5 in its first week of charting and has so far peaked at No.2. It will be sent to American radio stations in February 2012.
Smile About It was the second single from the album and was released on 10th March 2012. It entered at No.11 in its first week and rose to the top spot one week later.
Fired Up was the third single released from the album. It was released in May 2012 to positive reviews and became another hit for the group.
Lock It Up was confirmed as the fourth single. It was released on 26th of August to glowing reviews. The single entered at No.4. The following week it rose to No.1 giving them their second No.1 hit. 'Lock It Up' is currently their second best selling single; behind Everything About You and has remained at the top spot for 3 consecutive weeks.
