Olly Murs has heaped praise on Michael Jackson.

The singer told Digital Spy that he feels no-one will ever take the King of Pop title away from the 'Bad' star.

When asked by Digital Spy who he would like to meet from history, Murs said:

"I'd love to meet Michael Jackson. Just because he's the pinnacle...he was the king of pop.

"He will always be the king. There was no-one better than him."

The Brit meanwhile released new album 'Never Been Better' on Monday (November 24).

The record is expected to chart highly in the UK this week.

Murs' last two albums managed to reach No.1 in the country, with his 2010 self-titled debut peaking at No.2.
