Little Mix - Cannonball

Surprised by how much I like this, might be one of my favourite winner's singles ever :D

Will update the thread with the video when it's available.

[Kerry]

Prefer the original. That can't be beaten. But they did a good job

[King Gizzard]

Stupid single cover

[Jords]

I think its a really good version!! :D

[Glenn.]

Already number 3 on iTunes.

[Callum]

I really like it, bought it from iTunes. I do wish the winning single had been an original song though this year.

[Jords]

There was talks in a new song written by Barlow?
I dont think TXF will ever do it now.

[Shaun]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Benjamin]

Honestly, this is a really poor choice for a winners single, if not the worst choice in the history of X Factor. It's an ok song, but it is very forgettable as a really average cover version. A better song choice should have been selected.

[Locke.]

I love the original and wasn't looking forward to the performances tonight, but I thought there version was alright.. they were better suited to it than Marcus anyway.

Haven't listened to the studio version yet, though

[Jordan.]

I'd have preffered them to release Don't Let Go but do like this.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

leona is #2 on itunes

[GypsyGoth]

I love it, I think it showcases their voices. And the lyrics are great :love:

[Toxic]

Love this, best winners single ever for me because it actually sounds like a proper record and not some cheesy ballad.

[Toxic]

Currently #3 on iTunes...come on girls you can get to number 1! :D

[Jords]

Coldplay and Leona are massive competition, especially since their recent performances on TXF as well. I so hope they can do it but Im worried.

[Kerry]

Leona's "hurt" is an absolute crime to Johnny Cash

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

is this for xmas number 1 or is that next week

[Kerry]

2 weeks to Xmas. Well, just under

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

so whatever is #1 on the 18th will be the official xmas #1 i dont think they do it on xmas day

[Jordan.]

I don't think LM will get xmas number one.There is a massive following for that Military Wives charity single to get it, bookies have them as favourite.

[Kerry]

No, Xmas day counts. Is it on a Sunday? If it is whatever is one then is the official no.1

[GypsyGoth]

I don't think they'll get it either. But I don't think they need it.

I reckon they'll have a number 1 album when they release one, so i think they'll be around for a while.

[Locke.]

They will get #1 this week easily (probably within the next 12 hours), but they won't have the christmas #1

[Smithy]

They're still at #3 but Coldplay are selling almost double what Leona are selling :/

I imagine it'll be sometime this afternoon when little mix hit #1

[Jack_]

I'll be very surprised if that charity single gets Christmas #1, no matter how much it's being hyped up.

[Jords]

Stacey Solomon has a Xmas Single out too (Driving Home for Christmas) but idk how that will do (it was used on the Iceland ads during IAC so its known)

[Kerry]

I hate that

[Jordan.]

Top 5 for Stacey hopefully :worship:

[Jack_]

Little Mix, Military Wives and Bieber will probably be top three. Unless some anti-X Factor campaign is launched again, Nirvana or Damien Rice?

[Jords]

I cant see a campaign working against Little Mix

[Locke.]

#103 for Stacey. 2 places above Rebecca's next single

[Smithy]

Bieber?

No chance

[Jordan.]

#103 for Stacey. 2 places above Rebecca's next single

:joker::joker:

[Jack_]

Can't see who else could be there...tried to find a longer list but this a list DS are offering for single releases that week:

Delilah: 'Love You So'
Justin Bieber: 'Mistletoe'
Lil Wayne ft. Bruno Mars: 'Mirrors'
Laurent Wrey ft. Swift Kid & Dev: 'Hey Hey hey (Pop Another Bottle)'
The Only Way Is Essex: 'Last Christmas'

So unless Olly holds on/Rihanna goes to #1 again I can't see who else could make it. Need a longer list though I guess.

What a great display pic :joker:

[Mystic Mock]

Bieber is hated in the UK,I could see TOWIE beating him in the charts.

[Callum]

TOWIE will make top 10, possibly top 5. It's doing well on pre-orders.

[Kerry]

God, some crap comes out at Christmas :laugh:

[Smithy]

Coldplay - 100%
Leona - 55%
Little Mix - 48%


oohh they closin in

[Benjamin]

No doubt this will do well in the Christmas charts as small children will be buying this. I would laugh if this beat Little Mix to the #1. :laugh:

[Visage]

I think LM will hold on to the Christmas number one.

[Jords]

Little Mix #2 closing in on Coldplay :amazed:

[joeysteele]

I think it's disappointing that for the first group to win X Factor that this song is their first single.
It's the old X Factor format as usual and although it will do well, is a long way from what they should be doing.
There's no better place to start at what is really your strengths than at the beginning.

I actually preferred Marcus singing this song, but even for him it wasn't a song he should be releasing as a first single had he won either.

[Jordan.]

#1. Little Mix - Cannonball - 1.000000
#2. Coldplay - Paradise - 0.446380
#3. Leona Lewis - Hurt - 0.244202

the gap :amazed: must be selling a lot.

[Smithy]

1 Little Mix - Cannonball 1.0000
2 Coldplay - Paradise 0.3709
3 Leona Lewis - Hurt 0.2029

[Niamh.]

It's pretty good but Janet would have sung it so much better

[Tom4784]

It's better then most X Factor singles but that's like saying one turd smells better then another.

[Jords]

Its doing really well :D :D

[Tom]

Leona- Hurt. worst cover version I've ever heard. that includes Justin Beiber & Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You

[Tom4784]

It's a very awkward cover, she's taken Cash's version and mixed it in with elements of NIN's original instrumental and it just doesn't work.

[Jack_]

This for Christmas #1 :amazed:

[Doogle]

Apparently selling more than the rest of top 10. I love it :love:

[Strictly Jake]

what other 3 songs are on the single?

[Jords]

When Leigh-Anne does them high notes :amazed:
She sounds ****ing good!

[Jordan.]

The girl group managed to sell more than 68,000 downloads of their X Factor winner's single 'Cannonball' within 24 hours of it being available to buy

[Jords]

Cannonball 1.000000

Paradise 0.606957

Good Feeling 0.340067

Sales have slowed :(

[Jords]

Cannonball 1.000000

Paradise 0.606957

Sales have slowed :(

[Jordan.]

They got #1 in Ireland today

[Jords]

Paradise 0.643116

As much as I love the song (and prefer it over Cannonball), I want the girls to get it.

They got #1 in Ireland today

:D

[Callum]

They won't catch up to them now, Little Mix have the #1 on Sunday in the bag. I don't know if they'll get the Xmas number one though.

[Jords]

Dont be too sure 0.704807 now

[Jordan.]

Stop worrying Jords, they'll have sold double what Coldplay have :joker: Also we don't have a video for it yet, that'd help.

[Smithy]

Coldplay is on sale @ 59p I think that deal ends next tuesday so they deffo have this week, and may even have next weeks

[Jordan.]

Already knocked off by Military Wives :shocked:

1. Military Wives, Gareth Malone & London Metropolitan Orchestra - Wherever You Are - 1.000000
2. Little Mix - Cannonball 0.472892

No christmas #1 then but they'll definitely be #1 today.

[Jordan.]

Stacey Solomon making her way up currently @ #49

[Jords]

Come on Stace!!! :joker:

[Jords]

#48 now

[Jords]

-buys-

[Jordan.]

:joker:

I think she can manage top 10, it was only released at midnight.

[Jords]

I just realised this is her first proper single :')

[Jords]

fgs the alternative version is so much better, actually sounds Christmassy the single version is a bit summery imo :laugh:

[Jords]

...great vocals though :D

[Jords]

Cannonball #1 :amazed: :amazed:

[Marc]

:worship:

:D

[Jords]

Highest first week sales of the year :worship:

[Smithy]

No christmas #1 then but they'll definitely be #1 today.

They were knocked off at half 12, they musta had tonnes of preorders


Yay @ #1 :D

[Adamw92]

So glad they got #1, and over 200,000 sales :D

[Jordan.]

Seen the video on tv today. They've just used the finale performance and stuck a few bootcamp/judges house clips over it. Rubbish :bored:

[Tom]

200k sales (worst in XF history bar Steve), a rushed music video released really late and not getting Christmas #1 just about sums up this years X Factor

[Jords]

210K sales was on Sunday, so likely nearing 300K now, and its really not that bad when they got the fastest selling single and #1 on their week of release.

If anything it sums up that people dont have the money this year.

[Jords]

If it wasnt for a CHARITY single in Military Wives or a CAMPAIGN in the Donkey song theyd be #1 for a second week also.

[Glenn.]

I'm glad Little Mix got a Number 1 but I'm backing the Military Wives for Xmas No.1

It makes a change for the X Factor not to be there. :bored:

[Jords]

Just seen the MV, how **** :joker:

+ They realeased a week earlier than other winners so there was no big rush to buy it in time to get christmas #1

[Strictly Jake]

Bought this today. Its very good. Its got the three other songs I wanted on there aswell

[Jordan.]

They got christmas #1 in Ireland :laugh:

[Jords]

:hello:

[Tom]

+ They realeased a week earlier than other winners so there was no big rush to buy it in time to get christmas #1

They didn't, its just the way Christmas falls this year

The final was on the equivalent Saturday/Sunday to the last few years

[Jordan.]

Nope, they had to stay at #1 for two weeks to get it.

Others just had to make sure they were #1 on the following sunday then that would carry over christmas day.

Shayne Ward - #1, 25th December
Leona - #1, 24th December
Leon - #1, 23rd December
Alexandra - #1, 21st December
Matt - #1, 19th December
