Encyclopedia
"No Tomorrow" is the debut single
by American pop rock
band
Orson
. It was released on 27 February 2006, eventually climbing to the top of the UK Singles Chart
three weeks after its release. "No Tomorrow" is the lead single from Orson's 2006 debut album
, Bright Idea
. Despite entering the charts at #5 (selling 22,337), No Tomorrow climbed two weeks later to gain the top spot, making the band break yet another record, which was the lowest weekly sales of a UK number 1 single ever, selling only 17,694 copies. The single went on to be the UK's twelfth best selling single of the 2006 and spent seven weeks in the UK Top 5, 18 weeks in the UK Top 75. However, the single made Orson a one-hit wonder as this is currently their only UK Top 10 single with their next single "Bright Idea" just failing to chart in that area.
The single, however, had previously been released as a free download on the iTunes
music store where it became the most downloaded single of the week to date.
. The video for "No Tomorrow" uses a spotlight device to show only bits and snippets of the singer's night out with a girl. It features the attention focused on a circular light that moves around the screen and allows you to see through; the rest of the picture is darker than what's shown in the light and sometimes goes all black. The video for "Bright Idea" features a device that originated with Picasso when he took his still image labeled "Menotaur." In the Tony Petrossian
-helmed music video, the streaking light effect comes to life and real time.
