He's going to blow everything else out of the chart this week too.. despite the RATM campaign.

They are protesting against people being followers of Simon Cowell's X-Factor Machine by being followers of a facebook campaign.. Ironic much?

Its always getting brilliant ratings for Channel 4, 3rd highest rating behind CBB6 launch and BB10 launch.

So at least there was some good news for them.
I wonder how BBC1 did, they would have got slaughtered,

I didn't expect it to be so high after Saturdays ratings
It does make me wonder, can BGt and X Factor go any higher next year?
