"28,000 Friends" is the only single by Irish pop singer Eoghan Quigg released from his self-titled debut album. The album was released on 6 April 2009.
The song was written by former Busted member James Bourne. The lyrics are about accruing so-called ‘friends’ on websites such as Facebook.
On the 3 April, Quigg performed the song on breakfast show GMTV. He also performed the song on The Late Late Show.
The music video for "28,000 Friends" premiered on Quigg's official bebo site on 6 March 2009. It takes place mainly in an empty building with Quigg singing on a microphone and throughout the video many people come into the building. In another scene, Quigg is standing in a tracksuit singing directly to the camera.
On 9 April 2009 the single entered the Irish Singles Chart at 32 and the UK Singles Chart at 96. The BBC's Chart Blog gave the song one star out of five. Music-News.com gave the song two stars out of five. They criticised the lyrical content and the production, saying: "with weak instrumental and percussion, you’d be forgiven in thinking it was recorded on a Fisher Price product".
