Hi Jado - no I don't think there has been any official news about the album release date yet.
I'm sure readers of this thread will be very happy for you to post anything on here, it's so quiet at the moment!
Meanwhile, the twins have made number 28 on the Sun's reality show rich list. This is what they had to say about them:
"Simon Cowell famously described John and Edward Grimes as “incredibly annoying”, but that didn’t stop the Jedward juggernaut.
After the Irish twins, now 22, exited The X Factor in 2009, they promptly signed a £1m three-album contract with Universal. Touring and TV performances soon followed, netting them another million.
Their first tour covered 70 dates in the UK and Ireland, then in July 2010 they were paid £250,000 each for two fly-on-the-wall documentaries.
In 2011 they went on two further tours around Europe, before heading straight into the Celebrity Big Brother house for a £200,000 fee, eventually finishing third.
They have appeared in panto three times, earning £100,000 on each occasion, and represented Ireland twice in the Eurovision Song Contest, which sent both singles to No.1 there.
The hard-working lads have since squeezed in two more tours, the LA Marathon, the London Olympic Torch Relay, Channel 5’s Jedward’s Weird Wild World and BBC’s Jedward’s Big Adventure, earning themselves another £750,000.
They’ve also advertised everything from Shake n’ Vac, East Midlands Trains and Nintendo to their own-branded Samsung mobile phone, boosting their bank balance by another £1.5m.
Not to mention the fact they’re signed to Next models and can command fees upwards of £25,000 to appear in fashion magazines.
Although their record deal with Universal was not renewed, they’re not exactly counting pennies.
The duo have spent £600,000 on Ferrari sports cars and treated themselves to a £3m mansion in LA – handy for hanging out with their BFF and fellow CBB housemate, Tara Reid."
As they seems to have got the wrong end of the stick about the Ferraris and the LA mansion, I'm not sure how reliable the other figures are!
