Jedward are an Irish pop duo, consisting of identical twins John and Edward Grimes. To date, they have released four studio albums and several singles, both as lead artists and as featured artists.

They came to fame through their participation in the sixth season of The X Factor UK in 2009 where they finished in 6th place and to date are the only act to represent their home country at the Contest in two consecutive years at the 2011 Contest and again the following year.

Their first attempt resulted in the country finishing in the Top 10 for the first time in five years and achieving the highest placing for the country in eleven years. However, they fared worse the following year when they finished in 19th place overall.  In spite of this, they remain the country's best performing act of the decade.
