In 2007, Brian released “Like Only a Woman Can”, his third Irish No.1. The following year Brian moved to Australia, where he released his second album “Set in Stone”. During the same year, he became a television presenter hosting “Football Superstar”. McFadden also took on the role of a breakfast show radio presenter.

 

In 2010, Brian released a single featuring American rapper Kevin Rudolf, “Just Say So”. It went straight in at No.1 in the Australian charts and spent 10 weeks in the top 10.
