I can't see him lasting either, it's by no means a flop and neither was Leon but Syco seem to have pretty high standards...

I personally preferred Leon's 'Don't Call This Love' to 'Ambitions', and I reckon I'll prefer his album to Joe's too...but I'll reserve judgement until I've heard it. It's odd, though, because I couldn't stand Leon on the show and still to this day stand by the fact that Rhydian was robbed, but I quite liked his material after the show [even if a bit of it were covers]. Don't Call This Love, Stargazing, Creative and Fingerprints were all great tracks IMO.

radio channels shouldnt be so snobby.

Yeah you pretty much need to have 2 number 1's to be considered as successful.

yeah, considering it'll probably be the lead in single for his album it needs to be a hit and considering how terrible the song is it's not gonna do as well as the last song. The only thing he has potentially working in his favour is an X Factor performance.

NOT A FLOP

Joe will be the first X Factor winner to not have a number 1 amongst his first 2 singles, and Steve aside, his first proper single will be the lowest charting of them all. His series is the most watched on average to date, and Sundays results show was one of the most watched X Factor shows EVER.

In the midweeks, of the singles above him, 2 have been in the chart for a while, 1 is a prevous number 1, 1 is holding onto the #1 slot whilst the other is selling on the artists name alone. How is it anything but a flop?

If he released it without all the X Factor stuff and reached #4 it would be a success but much more is expected of him

The next one will do ok (if he performs it on XF,) as will the album, but after that he's destined to fail

daniel-lewis-1985 · 13-10-2010, 06:28 PM

Its top 5.

Not a flop.

I dont get this obsession with how records always have to be a number one for goodness sake,
In decades gone by if you read the guiness book of hit singles and albums, in the 50s,60s,70s,80s and 90s,many of the longest and biggest hitmakers,had records near the top of the charts and others low and in some cases very low.

We have a top 75 in the UK, if a record makes the top 75,even for just 1 week, it is deemed a hit record so if someone can score repeatedly top 5s or top 10s then they should be thought of as doing really well.
Every act cannot always get a number one record.
A top 5 or top 10 is deemed a failure, rediculous.

Also it may be as Jedward fever says, he may be someone who will shift albums more than singles. Too early to right him off.

Joe did get to number one with The Climb, he didn't make it Christmas week but he went to the top spot the next week, to be fair.

Locke. · 13-10-2010, 06:44 PM

Might aswell cancel his album now, won't be worth the money it takes to ship the CD's to the shops.

Novo · 13-10-2010, 06:50 PM

Waldorf i hope you have learnt your lesson

Olly was always going to be better then Joe in the end

Try telling that to Leon, he got #3, then #94 and into oblivion

Joe will probably do the same

There is no doubt Joe is a good singer but in my eyes I don't see him as a recording artist. It seems to be mostly the women who do well after the X Factor. I don't hear Joes song and think wow I must go out and buy that.

Benjamin · 13-10-2010, 07:00 PM

No shame really or suprise, he's dull like the majority of the winners.

but normally x factor winners go straight in at number one, he went in at number two and got beaten by ratm and didn't get the xmas number 1. that's shameful.

I don't like to make excuses for X Factor winners, but no other ones before Joe have had to put up with a bunch of over-zealous Facebookers with a poor grasp of irony ('f__k you I won't do what you tell me')

true i guess but still, you would have thought that he would still have beaten them going by all the support he had on the show and how high his winning percentage was.
