untouchable.

So close to 300K! but hey, no need to complain, no one has predict these sales in no way.

Brilliant! never expected it to be that much!

My Goodness!

And she was trailing off towards the end! I imagined 20k less than this!

She's gonna be smug tonight!

no way :o

i think a place in the top five biggest of the year is guarenteed now

im hoping number 1 of the year :D

amazing what a lip-synched performance on XFactor (with an incredible choreographer) can do for the sales of a crushingly average pop record, isn't it?

She did not lip sync she was live

Some of it could have been ;) Guess we will never know :lol:

Have to agree with Russ, it's a very average song.

 

I think her performance on X Fac was pre-rec live vocals :lol:.

But woah... so close to 300k!

 

I hope GaGa can still keep Top 2 Songs of '09 but with X Factor that might not happen.

Just look at her T4 performance the chorus was definitely mimed. The X Factor performance was much better.

I joked about this doing as well as this but never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine it would be so :lol:

People have to realise it's the biggest first week sales for a non charity/talent show single since Kylie in 2001!

 

Massive. :wub:

Just pure amazing genius really! Is this looking like it could be a million seller?

I don't think she could do it. But hey, that would be amazing!

Well it's marginal seeing as Cheryl is a JUDGE on X Factor, the debut performance was on X Factor and that is her whole identity now. Sure, she's the first non-talent show CONTESTANT since Kylie to get these type of sales, but she's hardly independent of X Factor and its power.

 

Technically Alexandra's "Hallelujah" charted on January 2nd 2009 with 311k so that remains the highest one week sales of 2009 so far. Cheryl probably will go down a few places for weekly sales before the year is up as the X Factor finalists, X Factor winner and maybe a surprise from SuBo or Leona could sell more.

 

And I'm not that shocked because she was on 230k on Friday midweeks, and she was selling about 25-30k a day, so 250k on Friday and then a further 42k on Saturday, with people downloading more as they aren't at school.

To be honest though if she wasn't on X Factor it wouldn't have done half as well.

She'd have to hold up pretty well next week to be a million seller!

Personally as bizarrely obsessed with the track as I am, I don't think it deserves it but hey-ho.
