1. The X Factor Celebrities 2019 - Run

#46. Leona Lewis - "One More Sleep (+#87)
#80. Leona Lewis - "Run"

Glad to see a nice boost from X-factor: Celebrity. I do wonder what the sales of "Run" are now - I assume it's near 1 million including streams. Must be near 900k in pure sales?

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 1st December 2019, 02:21 AM

Surely it won’t be going anywhere near #1 regardless of whatever the day of the week the chart is?

Posted by: Lukuzz 1st December 2019, 10:43 AM

Will Megan's x factor songs be chart eligible now?

Posted by: Steve201 1st December 2019, 10:47 AM

Run only has a 50% lead on iTunes so unless it's streaming is good it won't be top 10!

Posted by: lewistgreen 1st December 2019, 12:39 PM

Tbf for a charity sing x factor celebs version of Run isnt as bad as some have been, its unlikely to do well though its streaming will be non existent

Posted by: AcerBen 1st December 2019, 09:23 PM

It's an incredibly lazy choice of song though. The backing track is identical to Leona Lewis' version. It's not like the song even has any relevant lyrics to do with the charity or anything.

Megan isn’t doing that great at all considering all
The hype and the fact she won.

Is there even an official single?

Posted by: SLlewellyn 1st December 2019, 10:16 PM

Speak for yourself This is a Christmas classic as far as I’m concerned.

Posted by: Steve201 1st December 2019, 10:22 PM

I like the Geraldine song too, thought it would sell a lot more than it did in 2008.

Mariah top 10 for the first time this year 😀. Is All Alone on Christmas normally as high as this?

Posted by: JosephStyles 1st December 2019, 10:24 PM

There is no official single.

Posted by: Glenn 69 1st December 2019, 10:34 PM

Am I the only one who thought this has worked out exactly as Simon Cowell wanted it to- the X Factor will give Megan (who can clearly sing and has already had hits) a proper record deal and make her a lasting star unlike the last 4 regular X Factor winners

Posted by: Bré 1st December 2019, 10:47 PM

The X Factor Celebrities 2019 coming for the first song to get sales #1 but miss the overall top 40 maybe? It'll have completely negligible streams. At best it'll have a single week in the low top 40 (unless there's a sustained campaign to keep its sales up through the week although even then it'd still almost certainly only be charting for a week just maybe a bit higher).

Not sure why they aren't trying to push 'This' as a 'winner's single' for Megan, it'd work perfectly well as one and seems to have some genuine popularity but instead... they're just plopping out a random cover as her big winning performance and then not even making it a proper 'winner's single'?

Posted by: Steve201 1st December 2019, 11:08 PM

Could he not have just given her a record deal if he wanted to?

Posted by: Mart!n 1st December 2019, 11:16 PM

The thing is with the X Factor Celebrities track the proceeds from the track is not going to generate a lot of sales to the charities, if the track bombs after a week, as Bre said above, Megan would have been better off releasing 'This' as the winners single and donate its sales to the charities.

Tbf i have listened to it a few times wnd do like it but thought i was only one so i said noone

Posted by: AcerBen 2nd December 2019, 08:39 AM

Trouble is it's the same song she already released several weeks ago. It is remixed and slightly longer but getting people to download it again is a bit of an ask.

Posted by: Steve201 2nd December 2019, 09:25 AM

Decent 65% lead for the XF finalist song, prob sell maybe 10-12k now?

Posted by: 777666jason 2nd December 2019, 02:40 PM

Really every other track is labeled x factor recording, IMHBL doesnt

Posted by: JosephStyles 2nd December 2019, 03:41 PM

Yes really, she does not have a proper winning single.

Posted by: darrens94 2nd December 2019, 03:56 PM

‘It Must Of Been Love’ was obviously planned to be the winners single with it being properly recorded but they must of decided to go with a group single in hope it would do better in the charts. ‘This’ should really have been the winners single as it does seem popular but they might be saving that for next year for an official release as Megan’s first proper single.

Posted by: AcerBen 2nd December 2019, 04:29 PM

*All* of the performances this year were done as studio recordings though.

If anything they must've been considering "This" as a possible "proper" single because they remixed and extended it for the final. But also Simon seemed to get in his head that doing the Christmas version of It Must Have Been Love was a genius idea and wanted to push that too.

They probably should've just made all the final week's releases for Help For Heroes!

Posted by: pippa 2nd December 2019, 05:27 PM

It Must Have Been Love is a gorgeous song by Roxette and Megan has done a very good cover.
Could have made a good single for Megan.

Posted by: darrens94 2nd December 2019, 05:28 PM

No the performances released throughout the series are recordings from the tv studio during a rehearsal or something which is why they have X Factor Recording in brackets apart from It Must Of Been Love which sounds more polished compared to the version released last week. To be honest though the whole series was a complete shambles and looked made up on the spot so it’s fitting they don’t even know what song to release properly

Posted by: Bré 2nd December 2019, 05:32 PM

How are you directly quoting a post with the correct title and still changing it back to be grammatically incorrect

Posted by: darrens94 2nd December 2019, 05:37 PM

I have just noticed that, no wonder I couldn’t find it on Itunes

Posted by: 777666jason 2nd December 2019, 06:13 PM

Yes they are all clearly studio versions its just itunes wording of IMHBL is single, all other tracks are X factor recording, but it does look like they gone with the group track over a winners single (which kinda makes the whole contest look even more pointless than it sounded)

Posted by: AcerBen 2nd December 2019, 06:56 PM

In previous years yes but to me they all sound like studio recordings this year. The vocals are too good to be live. In any case like I said, they've released a "more polished" and longer version of "This" too.

Posted by: darrens94 2nd December 2019, 07:55 PM

Well there’s clearly a difference in recording between ‘This’ and ’It Must Have Been Love’ because one has X Factor recording tagged on like all the other recordings and the other one doesn’t which sounds like a proper recorded single to my ears. ‘This’ was probably extended because Megan had more time to sing it in the final compared to week 1 when they were rushing through all contestants and the results.

Interesting that 'Blinding Lights' is doing a lot better out of The Weeknd's two new songs on iTunes (and ahead on Apple as well) but it's still well behind 'Heartless' on Spotify.

Will this cover of Stay Another Day trouble the charts on Xmas week?

Posted by: sammy01 3rd December 2019, 11:08 PM

My teenage heart weeps that Alanis Morissette's voice sounds absolutely shot on that new song. She shaped my teenage years but that is almost unlistenable.

Posted by: Hadji 3rd December 2019, 11:23 PM

Looks like "Run" could be the first song to be #1 on sales and miss the top 40 entirely

Posted by: Bjork 4th December 2019, 08:48 AM

the Alanis song is great, sure her voice has changed but that's normal, we age, voice changes, that's life, unless you auto-tuned
it's slightly different but still sounds like her, and the song is good

Posted by: ChristmaSteve201 4th December 2019, 10:55 AM

Dance Monkey 3% ahead again!

Posted by: M4NGO HO HO 4th December 2019, 11:03 AM

I agree with Sammy, I don't know what's happened to her voice but it sounds almost unrecognisable compared to her classics.


Coming to avoid ACR again in two weeks and be crowned Christmas #1

Posted by: ChristmaSteve201 4th December 2019, 12:50 PM

Oh Jesus hopefully not lol, it'll be like Clean Bandit in 2016, Michael Jackson in 1995 & Whitney in 1992!!

More importantly DMs streams seems to be decreasing, not sure it'll make 80k this week for like the first time in its run. Wouldn't be surprised to see it regain top spot in the new year if it increases enough with the new year playlists.

Posted by: gavindeejay 4th December 2019, 12:52 PM

DM will most likely be Number 1 for Christmas. The industry doesn't really care about Christmas Number 1 any longer.

Posted by: PaulM1983 4th December 2019, 04:03 PM

Just heard Alanis' new song. It's pretty dull. She still sounds roughly the same to me.

But she stole that whole piano riff from the opening note onwards, from Lady Gaga's Look What I Found.

It's not even subtle. I heard it within 2 seconds. It's almost identical.

Posted by: Bjork 4th December 2019, 04:14 PM

Lady Gaga's Look What I Found? whats that? never heard that song even by name

Posted by: pippa 4th December 2019, 04:35 PM

I hope it has done enough to achieve a Top 40 place.

Posted by: Bjork 4th December 2019, 04:37 PM

looks like Alanis is making quite an impact, seems like a love/hate song,
with some loving it, some hating it,
but alas, at least she's getting a reaction
thought it would go totally unnoticed

Posted by: Michael Bubré 4th December 2019, 04:38 PM

Even if iTunes was still relevant to ACR status, she's back ahead because of the XF song plummeting, not because of her rising herself. It looks pretty clear from the mids that she'll have her 2nd week of decline this week so whether or not she'll be in the position to be the default Xmas #1 depends on if she can increase her streams out of nowhere again next week.



From 'A Star Is Born'.

The Killers' 'Mr. Brightside' is back at #18, what's caused the boost this time? x

They sang a karaoke version of it in I'm A Celeb last night

Posted by: Slade 4th December 2019, 04:41 PM

Off the top of my head these songs were also featured:

- Spandau Ballet - Gold
- Girls Aloud - Sound of the Underground
- Shakin' Stevens - Merry Christmas Everyone
- Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You

This is the first time Mabel's song has been top 40 if I'm not mistaken .

Oh really, I thought it had gone top 40 upon release. Good to see at any rate!

This is doing exceptionally well on iTunes this year. Currently third highest Xmas song there - second highest behind Mariah when combined.

Looks like Stormzy is now ahead of Lewis on every platform except Spotify (where he's only marginally behind), so could easily rise to #2 next week.

Posted by: ChristmaSteve201 5th December 2019, 07:50 PM

Oh my KT Tunstall has done a cover of Mele Kalmimaka! Reminds me of National Lampoons.

Posted by: M4NGO HO HO 5th December 2019, 09:18 PM

Liam's Christmas song is actually quite nice!

Gonna be a busy one for ex-1Ders tomorrow with Liam's album out and Harry and Niall dropping new singles.
