X Factor's G4G4X Factor runners-up G4 have signed a £1m record deal with Sony Music.

Their debut album will be released next month - fast work, fellas!

It's a compilation of rock, pop and opera covers and includes tracks from the show.

In a statement, G4 said: "The sound of the album will build on what we achieved on the show.

"Our act is a little different from what is out there and we hope that was what drew people to us. We are all just so excited and already so proud of the album."

Steve already has a £1m contract with Simon Cowell's BMG label - despite a few tongue-lashings from Sharon Osbourne - and his single, Against All Odds, made No.1

Nick Raphael, vice-president of Sony Music, said: "G4 are a very exciting group who appeal to classical and mainstream audiences alike."
