Queen's Speech 5 was lingering around 40-50 on iTunes for a while, I think they should reduce it to 59p for a while so it can gain chart exposure. This strategy worked wonders for Shawn Mendes.

UK iTunes 60. Lady Leshurr - Queen's Speech 5

UK Official Chart: Sax - #6 (+8) [8 weeks on the chart]

@bpi_music Congrats @fleureast! ‘Love Sax and Flashbacks’ has gone Silver. Congrats on your first album #bpiAward! We have the official silver certification!

Debuted at number 9 lol

It's a shame for Louisa that the song isn't likely to reach number 1 but if dwindling ratings and a failin winners single don't make Simon realise X Factor needs a serious reshuffle, then I'm not sure what will! I remember American Idol had a songwriting contest at one point where the selected song would be sang by the winner. I think that would work well for the X Factor. It's time to abandon these boring cover versions!

I wonder what Ben and Leona will be singing? I was hoping Leona would have the opportunity to promote something from the new album but I have a feeling that they will perform Run.

Woo 87 now on iTunes with a green update on kworb. What was the peak iTunes position last year?

He is :)

The cumulative sales of Cher Lloyd's and Diana Vickers’ albums are both in excess of 100k+ (they are both certified gold) and not listed here. Swagger Jagger’s sales are 200k+ as of 2011. Once has sold 204,000 copies. Bleeding Love has sold at least 1,180,000 copies and Bad Boys 860,000 copies.

[quote name='ChristmasRobin' date='Dec 10 2015, 02:06 PM' post='5254 Yawn to most of the performers aside from Adele who will undoubtedly be incredible *.* It would have been so much nicer if we didn't have the same acts come back each year for the final... shame they couldn't get Carly or Y&Y on instead -_- If they wanted Carly or Y&Y on the show, they could get them. Carly's album flopped harder than Leona's in the UK even though the former had the exposure of a top 5 single. At the end of the day, the X Factor is a franchise so of course they are going to use the platform to promote their artists.

I like this thread but I would also like to see the total sales as well as the debuts.

"The album [ben Haenow] debuted at number 10 on the UK Albums Chart with 18,130 copies sold. In its second week, the album dropped to number 29, selling 7,743 copies, bringing it's total to 25,873 copies sold." Wikipedia. I hope Fleur announces a live tour soon, my brother and I really want to see her perform!
