(Clearly not as it'd have done so by now and #2 would mean it'd practically have to triple its sales in a few days). I can't imagine RCA will be thrilled but it's their own fault for not bothering to promote him - still #10 would be very good under the circumstances. I do generally really like it when X Factor contestants are doing well so they are usually the ones I root for (most occasions). Supermarket charts are made up.. at least for new releases anyway. They may well have expected him to go in at around #2 though, since other X Factor runners-up have managed to go that high even without a hit single.

They may well have expected him to go in at around #2 though, since other X Factor runners-up have managed to go that high even without a hit single. He wasn't a runner-up, though, he was 3rd. Interestingly, according to a quick Wikipedia search, the most recent 3rd-placed act to reach the top 40 with a debut album were One Direction, way back in 2011... I wouldn't be surprised if they've put him at #2 to try and shift some copies, frankly. I work in Sainsbury's, and we've had 3 copies on the shelf of our store in the "new release of the week" section; I don't think we've sold any. :/

you never forget your first time...

I'm stuffed up with hay fever so maybe missing a huge joke but I'm not sure where you're coming from here. One Direction for a start. Also Journey South and Ben Mills but I didn't think you'd miss that first example.

His first album was never going to be a big chart topper in my opinion but it's done well enough to ensure he does have a career in music. If One Direction are the only third place act to ever release an album he's done amazing to get this far to begin with. Also I agree it would have been the perfect album for the Mother's Day market, though I guess they risked him just having a covers album ready in time for then

I can't seem to find anything from Google/Wikipedia. If you searched on YouTube "Andrea Faustini Explains His Alter Ego Kelly", he talked about it very briefly on Loose Women. It's an alter-ego he's made up, apparently! Haha, fair point about Amelia, Chris and Luke not releasing albums! But even so, out of those 3, only Amelia had any real success with singles. Luke probably could have, but he waited too long, sadly. Similarly, I agree with you completely that Andrea also waited a bit too long - he'd have probably sold twice as much as a Mothers' Day release!
