La Roux star Elly Jackson has revealed that she is currently too busy to celebrate her recent success.

The 21-year-old singer and her bandmate Ben Langmaid topped the UK singles chart with 'Bulletproof' last month. Their previous hit 'In For The Kill' had reached number two in April.

Meanwhile, the pair this week released their self-titled debut album, which is expected to knock Michael Jackson's Number Ones from the top spot tomorrow.

Reflecting on the band's achievements, Elly told the Daily Star: "We are going to wait until the end of the year to celebrate. We are taking nothing for granted. We have just started the festival circuit but there are other countries like France to visit so it's early days."

Jackson recently made headlines after blasting the R&B genre, claiming: "Lyrically it's just like really, really bad."
