Keane have judged the winner for the John Lewis 'Reworked' competition, which will see Matthew Fearon from Leicester record a version of the soundtrack of their Christmas TV advert Keane hit 'Somewhere Only We Know', in a studio with producer Paul Beard. The track will be played out on Christmas Day during an ad break, giving Matthew a Christmas he will never forget.
To celebrate ten incredible years of success, Keane released ‘The Best Of Keane’ on 11th November 2013, which has seen the album go Gold and become the biggest selling 'Best Of' this Christmas. 'The Best Of Keane' entered the UK charts at Number 10 and was Number 10 in the iTunes stores of 23 countries.
This was followed by a Number 1 single of their 2004 hit ‘Somewhere Only We Know’ sung by Lily Allen for this year’s John Lewis Christmas advert. ‘Somewhere Only We Know’, which remains top of the charts at this week's No. 1 spot, originally featured on 5 million selling debut album ‘Hopes & Fears’, which became the first of their five consecutive album releases to reach Number 1.
The second single and new song from the 'The Best Of Keane' is ‘Won’t Be Broken’ and will be released on 20th January 2014.
