Jedward dropped by Sony snapped up by Universal the next day, more details

Thought you'd seen the last of Jedward after yesterday's news that they had been dumped by Sony after only one single? Tough titties...

Universal records made a swoop for them pretty much as soon as they got wind of the axe being wielded and have spun into overdrive and done a deal with Louis Walsh in under 24 hours.

It's unclear which Universal label they will sign to but chances are it will be Polydor or Island. The boys are heading over to London to sign within a matter of days.

Louis Walsh told HM:

"I'm delighted! I've always stood by them and now we've proved the boys have a great career ahead of them"

Hhmm... Anyway, we wouldn't bank on Rick Rubin being drafted in to produce the album (yes, it's an album deal) as although the choices for the next single are changing all the time the current favourite is...

And there you have it. House of Pain - Jump around.
