Cardle signed a joint deal with Syco and Columbia Records after winning the seventh series of The X Factor. His winner's single "When We Collide" topped the UK Singles Chart to become the 2010 Christmas number 1 and remained there for three consecutive weeks. In June 2012 the song reached the one million sale mark, making it the 123rd single to sell a million copies in the UK and the fourth by an X Factor contestant. In Ireland it is the fourth best selling single of all time.[1] His debut album, Letters, was released in the UK on 17 October 2011. The album's first single, "Run For Your Life," written by Gary Barlow, peaked at number 6 on the UK Singles Chart. Letters debuted at number 2 on the UK Albums chart and spent 16 consecutive weeks in the top 40. Two further singles from the album were released, "Starlight" and "Amazing".

Following his split from Columbia/Syco, Cardle's second album, The Fire was released on 29 October 2012 through So What Recordings, part of the Silva Screen Music Group. The album debuted at number 8 in the UK album chart. Cardle then released his third album, Porcelain, independently in 2013 . It reached number 11 on the UK album chart.
