December 18, 200618 yr Don't forget the 1 million pre-orders for the single. It'll be interesting to see how many of those actually sell though, I get the impression that was only said to generate hype...
December 18, 200618 yr Don't forget the 1 million pre-orders for the single. Pre-orders don't count towards the chart though do they? :unsure: It'll be interesting to see how many of those actually sell though, I get the impression that was only said to generate hype... Exactly. -_- Either way, I have already downloaded the single legally twice (first one screwed up) and i'll be buying the physical on Wednesday, if they're doing CD1 and CD2 then i'll buy both.
December 18, 200618 yr downloads didn't count last year when shayne went to #1 did they? so I guess it's expected for her to sell more right?
December 18, 200618 yr Author downloads didn't count last year when shayne went to #1 did they? so I guess it's expected for her to sell more right? Downloads were introduced in March 2005, the rule this year was allowing a download to chart a week early
December 18, 200618 yr I think she's gonna sell LOADS. 1mill by the end of the year, me thinks. I'm gonna go out on a limb & say she's easily gonna de-throne Gnarls.
December 18, 200618 yr Oh and I think i'm the only person who actually WANTS Leona to be Christmas #1, she's an amazing talent and this is a great stepping stone for her to make it. Also, Steve Brookstein didn't get Christmas #1 if you remember because of Band Aid 20. I 100% completely agree. I hate all the negativity towards her, She is the only true winner to come out of X Factor in my eyes.

I second that, she is the only derserving winner of any xfactor/Idol show i've seen, an it's the first time i've boverd to vote on one! (about 7 times on Saturday :lol: ) PS: will be buying her single!!
December 18, 200618 yr She could do 1 million first week easily... With downloads it's far easier to buy a single for that kind of event...
December 18, 200618 yr Just a reminder people reading this thread you might be interested in the Reality Forum withs loads of discussion on X-Factor

December 18, 200618 yr It's amazing the power that show has. No matter how awful or bland the song is the public will buy it in their droves. Personally I think the song itself is shockingly bad. Talk about being lazy on Simon's part :rolleyes:
December 18, 200618 yr Personally I think the song itself it shockingly bad. It's dreadful. It's ironic that males that cover $h!t ballads like this get so much stick (Westlife) yet when a warbling, overhyped female sings it it's multiple orgasms all round :puke2: :puke2: :puke2: :puke2: :puke2:

The song could easily be a Westlife single and if it was, it would be called '$h!t' by everyone. I thought last years 'That's My Goal' was bad. It's bloody amazing in comparision -_-
December 18, 200618 yr Yes but Leona is clearly more commercial then the likes of ray and ben, Ben didn't win Scotty, get over it :smoke:
December 18, 200618 yr Yes but Leona is clearly more commercial then the likes of ray and ben, Ben didn't win Scotty, get over it :smoke: It's not about Leona. It's the song itself just proves that the public will buy any old $h!t just because it's by the winner. Simon is a mast-manipulator -_- Thank god Ben did'nt win. Can you imagine him singing this girly, cheesy song? :lol: :puke2: Not in a million years would I have bought it even if he had've won :P
December 18, 200618 yr It's possible she'll even beat Will Young's record of 1.2 million in a week. The media will go to town on that. Although the comparison will be meaningless as Will didn't release just before Christmas, nor did the single go for sale until 3 weeks after he won PI, and there were no downloads then either.

Those facts maybe true - but people won't look at the facts, they'll look at the record unfortunately.

He made an Aerosmith version of it, you should watch the xtra-factor more often :smoke:
