I thought the weekend effect referred to the fact that Saturday and Sunday generally have the heaviest traffic on iTunes. So a song that is only T20 on Saturday may actually sell more copies than a song that's T10 on Wednesday.

I don't think you have to subscribe to SoundCloud to listen to songs on it. The people with SC accounts are the content producers.

The ratings for the XF UK in the US are infinitesimal. However, the video of Matt singing his winner's single was trending on YT. That's a more likely source of American interest.

Louis needs other people to tweet. It's one thing for him to appear on XF and dedicate the song to his dead mother. To actually get on Twitter to promote it would be much too crass.

Maybe he wants to perform his next single solo, rather than a contestant duet?

Please let him be Matt Terry's duet partner. :dance:

Is there any reason Leona couldn't pre-tape a performance for XF? They can accomplish a lot through the magic of television, I hear!
