Only with an upcoming, unreleased song though, her other performances didn't seem to ever both the Top 40.

Another nail in the coffin for HMV then

Just another business which failed to adapt to a changing times. Can't wait to see the record companies blame this on piracy :rolleyes:

I think the advert starts in tomorrow's x factor

Well it's no different than Cheryl pre-recording her X Factor performance

Perhaps it'll be pre-recorded? (SNL that is)

Promise This now #2. Definitely going to go to #1 before X Factor. As for sales, we'll probably get a better idea when we see what Bruno sold this week. She's definitely on course for over 100k though with ease

FFTL has definitely outsold it (It's over 900k now). I think The Promise is at around 500-600k and SOTU 640k+

Well it was never going to do as well as FFTL, that was her debut solo single. Just like GA have never had as big a selling single as SOTU. However the fact it should get to #1 before The X Factor performance is notable I think

They're both on the same label too, which is somewhat interesting. Unlikely the top 10, but I certainly see it being in the top 40/30 when the album is released like 3 words was.

No, the one of the same name by Cheryl Cole. It's her second single and premiered on Radio 1 this morning (like 3 words was)

Plus, it could shoot the track into the top 10 alongside Promise This. Talking of which, didn't 3 words (single) get to #27 during the week of the album release and stayed there until it peaked at #4 in December somewhen. I wonder if we'll see a similar thing happen with The Flood, it was played on both Radio 1 and 2 today

Will Young wasn't on Syco, he was on 19 Recordings which is Simon Fuller's company Gareth Gates was the one signed to Syco. Which proves my point. As for Leona, Alex, I'm talking about male contestants/winners. Syco can't seem to handle them really

It's mainly because runners up are signed by labels who know what they're doing whereas the winners are forced to team up with Syco.

Of course they can bring her on, what is Cheryl going to do, exactly? :mellow:

Um, Cheryl can't "ban" anyone from the show. Even Simon Cowell does not have total control over the programme, there are at least 4 exec producers for the various companies involved (ITV, Syco, TBT). It's not even Simon who decides who the judges are - that's a guy called Richard Holloway. He's the person with most of the power really. Simon Cowell is simply the "public face" of the boss, behind the scenes it's far more complicated than what Simon says, goes.

Also need to take into account the huge increase in ratings of the show over the past two years as well. Last night saw over 15 million viewers, more than the 2008 final!

Um... because she doesn't feature on it

The Cheryl version is in the OP, Eric. Cheryl just sings on the chorus. I coudn't tell the difference at first and thought the DJ had made a mistake when they introduced it with Cheryl on the track. I guess it's no real different to UK acts slapping a rapper on a song to break the US market really. Slapping Cheryl Cole's name (her vocals are optional) on a track is an easy way to break the UK market at the moment.

It should get a boost when her new album comes out, and if someone performs it on The X Factor that would help. I'm sure it'll eventually climb to 1m over the next year or so

Are you the annoying cock who keeps tweeting people whenever they mention Christmas?

It's very unlikely she'll get two x factor spots. I know Robbie did but that was probably only in return for him dueting with Olly (Leona's second performance wasn't asingle and JLS/Alex performed the same song). She didn't get one for 3 words

Didn't the fake Turn My Swagga on go up to #11 with The X Factor's help?

3.5m? Years ago perhaps, closer to 2.2-2.5m nowdaays
