January 7, 201114 yr One more for ya :P Alexandra Burke - The Silence 48,000 (although this doesnt include any trickle sales since the album was released)
January 10, 201114 yr So, back to the original post that started this thread... ... If you take away winners' singles and charity songs, then consistency means you must then take away any of the songs that made a "debut" showing on X- Factor (as the promo effect is the same)... Top 10 currently are: Top 10: 1. JLS - Beat Again - 515,000 2. Olly Murs - Please Don't Let Me Go - 318,400 (as of 03/01/2011) 3. JLS - One Shot - 310,000 4. Alexandra Burke - Broken Heels - 295,300 (as of 03/01/2011) 5. Leona Lewis - Better In Time - 290,000 6. Alexandra Burke - All Night Long - 270,100 (as of 03/01/2011) 7. Alexandra Burke - Start Without You - 254,900 (as of 03/01/2011) 8. JLS - The Club Is Alive - 241,800 (as of 03/01/2011) 9. Olly Murs - Thinking Of Me - 237,100 (as of 03/01/2011) 10. Shayne Ward - No Promises - 225,000 I personally don't see why any of the winners' singles or charity songs should be omitted. Ultimately, the first list posted on this thread is the "real" list. Sales are sales. But you can "spin" them to favour any artist any way you like. Edited January 10, 201114 yr by sweetpea
January 10, 201114 yr Author Ommiting in my opinion doesn't work - and is stupid. Just because they've had a higher profile why should Bad Boys, Bleeding Love and Everybody In Love be omitted from the list because they were performed on X Factor. If we're going down that road, then All Night Long should be omitted because Alex promoted it on Dancing On Ice. The Club is Alive should be omitted because it was performed on Britian's Got Talent, Better In Time should be omitted because it's the Sport Relief single - the way it's going you'll have no list left. So yes - the list on the front page is the X Factor singles list
February 26, 201114 yr Author New update: Hallelujah confirmed as double-platinum and When We Collide has less then 60,000 to hit a million

August 28, 201113 yr Author We have an update on the top 11!! It would have been an update on the top 20, as 4Music has showed the top 20 Biggest Selling X Factor Hits from now, but I missed 12-20 The top 11 look like this: 01. Alexandra Burke - Halleujah - 1,220,000 02. Shayne Ward - That's My Goal - 1,100,000 03. Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love - 1,020,000 04. Matt Cardle - When We Collide - 980,000 05. Leona Lewis - A Moment Like This - 880,000 06. X Factor Finalists 2008 - Hero - 820,000 07. Joe McElderry - The Climb - 800,000 08. Alexandra Burke - Bad Boys - 730,000 09. Leona Lewis - Run - 710,000 10. JLS - Beat Again - 540,000 11. Leon Jackson - When You Believe - 505,000 Interestingly this was the top 11 sales from the last update: 01. Alexandra Burke - Halleujah - 1,210,000 (as of 20/02/2011) 02. Shayne Ward - That's My Goal - 1,095,000 03. Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love - 1,005,000 (as of 20/02/2011) 04.

Bleeding Love is fast catching up on That's My Goal, but will take a long time to catch Halleujah as they are virtually selling the same. Other notable updates are further down the list, with JLS and Cher Lloyd providing new entries. Future updates are gonna come from Olly Murs - "Heart Skip A Beat", Leona Lewis - "Collide" and One Direction - "What Makes You Beautiful"

August 29, 201113 yr Shayne Wards album sales need to be changed. His debut 'Shayne Ward' sold 531,659 copies up until November 2010, not 460,000. And 'Breathless' didn't sell 400,000, it sold 459,545 copies up until November 2010, as seen below. http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=121282 Edited August 29, 201113 yr by StephenN18
August 29, 201113 yr Author Thanks for the updates - also Olly Murs debuts at #37 this week and Joe McElderry's album debuts at #25
August 29, 201113 yr Jedward album sales are 31,251 for Planet Jedward and 3,275 for Victory (up to last week - the latter is #77 this week, so will've sold a couple more thousand), which places them at #26 and ~#31 respectively. Also, Eoghan Quigg's album was self-titled; '28,000 Friends' was the title of the "promo" single.
August 29, 201113 yr Belle Amie's single came out yesterday. Been lingering in the bottom quarter of the Top 200 Songs on iTunes. I don't expect it to be too high up the list, sadly.
