Career

[4] Henderson then sang an original song, "My Baby Sister", which earned him three yeses from the judges. [4] He and Cameron were put through to the semi-finals as soloists competing against each other. Henderson appeared in the fourth semi-final on 1 June 2010 and sang an original song, "What Goes Around Comes Around".

[27] Henderson's performance of "Choirgirl" debuted at number 51 on the ARIA Singles Chart. [28] For the Family Heroes-themed sixth live show, he sang Daryl Braithwaite's "The Horses", [29] and his performance debuted on the ARIA Singles Chart at number 27. [30] Henderson received another standing ovation from the judges during the Judges' Challenge-themed seventh live show, for his performance of Avicii's "Wake Me Up", which was chosen by Minogue. [31] The performance debuted at number 49 on the ARIA Singles Chart. [30] For the Aussie Week-themed eighth live show, he sang "One Crowded Hour" by Augie March and received a standing ovation. [32] Minogue applauded his growth in the competition and Bassingthwaighte said his "interpretation was beautiful". [32] Henderson's performance of "One Crowded Hour" debuted at number 38 on the ARIA Singles Chart. [30]

For the Power and Passion-themed ninth live show, he sang "Against All Odds" by Phil Collins and "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper. [33] During the ninth live decider show the following day, Henderson was in the bottom two for the first time with Third Degree.

[34] His performance of "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" debuted at number two on the ARIA Singles Chart and was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association for selling over 35,000 copies. [30] [35] His performance of "Against All Odds" debuted at number 90.

[43] The album debuted at number one on the ARIA Albums Chart and was certified platinum for shipments of more than 70,000 units. [30] [44]

On 24 January 2014, Henderson released a cover of "I Am Australian" with Im, Jessica Mauboy, Justice Crew, Nathaniel Willemse and Samantha Jade, to coincide with the Australia Day celebrations. [45] [46] The song peaked at number 51 on the ARIA Singles Chart.

[49] On 4 July 2014, Henderson's first extended play, The Acoustic Sessions, was released exclusively on the JB Hi-Fi online store, featuring acoustic versions of six songs from his second studio album Burnt Letters . [50]

Burnt Letters was released on 11 July 2014 and became Henderson's second consecutive album to debut at number one on the ARIA Albums Chart. [30] [51] It was certified gold for shipments of more than 35,000 units. [52] The album was preceded by the release of its first two singles, "When You Were Mine" and "Already Gone". [53] [54] The former debuted at number five on the ARIA Singles Chart and was certified platinum, while the latter peaked at number 42. [41] [30] To promote the album, Henderson embarked on the Burnt Letters Tour from July to September 2014.

2016–present: One More Minute

In August 2016, Henderson announced the release of a new single titled "Light Up the Dark" which would be included on the soundtrack for the Australian film Spin Out . The track is the first from his upcoming third studio album One More Minute. [58] Henderson also embarked on his Acoustic Tour in September and October 2016. Originally his new album was planned to be released on 4 November but on 28 October, Taylor posted a video on his Facebook and Instagram accounts letting his fans know that his album will be delayed to 10 March 2017. [58] He then announced on 8 March 2017 that the album would be pushed back again to a date yet to be advised, although said a new single titled "Back To You" would be released soon. [59] In late 2016, two songs leaked on Henderson's Apple Music Connect page. The songs were both titled "Yours Again", with one featuring a beat and the other without the beat.

Artistry

[67] Henderson cites Matt Corby, Michael Jackson, John Mayer, James Morrison, Jason Mraz, Ed Sheeran and Justin Timberlake as his musical influences.
