September 7, 200917 yr x factor was kinda on... but i wasnt paying much attention.. ive never known a track hang about soooo loong then rise again. i mean, its good...but that good? after a year? surely theres no 'new' customers, surely everyones heard it, surely everyone who has wanted it has already bought it... tbh .... i just dont get it. Funny you should say that, my Mum was telling me the other day how much she loved that "Sex On Fire" song off X Factor and how she listened to clips of the album on iTunes and only liked that one song. :lol: So, unfortunately, there are people who heard one of the biggest hits in the last year for the first time on X Factor. Just shows how much need there is for a TOTP style show, people clearly need music handed to them on a plate.

I think it's a trend we're going to see (and in some ways have already seen) through the download generation and our modern throw-away society. It's not as if you buy the physical record anymore and hang on to it - it gets downloaded to your PC and stays there as long as you want it. It can be accidentally or intentionally wiped, knocked out by a virus or just not transferred when buying a new PC. So then, it's easy and cheap enough to just download it again. The same thing seems to be happening every Christmas now.
