Louisa Johnson set to be first XF winner to miss number 1

[Will.]

Her cover of Bob Dylan's Forever Young is currently in the Top 10 in the midweeks but has already slipped from the top spot on iTunes behind current chart topper Justin Beiber, leaving her unlikely to overtake by Friday.

To date every single winner of The X Factor has gone to Number 1 with their debut single from Steve Brookstein in 2004 through to Ben Haenow last Christmas.

Already falling down the chart this week also means it's almost certain that X Factor won't grab this year's Christmas top spot in next week's chart. For the first time in years, the Christmas Number 1 will be announced on Christmas day itself next Friday, December 25.

Didn't Rage against the Machine keep one of them off No.1? or did he just miss being Christmas No.1?

[Ashley.]

What's all this fuss about "Stormzy for #1"? Seen it on Twitter quite a bit. Who is Stormzy?

[Jordan.]

Not surprising the song is dull and forgettable, plus the general decline the show is in.

[LukeB]

Didn't Rage against the Machine keep one of them off No.1? or did he just miss being Christmas No.1?

yeah, but he went to number 1 the week after.. i assumed she would miss out on number 1, she lost 3 days of sales and the song isn't that great, her CD was realised yesterday as well. 2 days from the chart reveal. But winner singles doesn't mean much i guess since James Arthur's single sold loads during the 1st week and then he flopped couple of months after.

[Crimson Dynamo]

its a dreadful song and does not deserve success

[Niamh.]

X Factor is dying at last

It is indeed! you should have seen the final it was a mess.

Louisa should have just realise it's a man's world, she would have had a chance.

[Pete.]

Fleur for #1!

[Shaun]

Charts are mostly determined by streams now aren't they? I guess that explains why Justin Bieber tracks from 6 months ago are still in the top ten.

[Denver]

She deserves to flop

[Ashley.]

RqQGUJK7Na4

I wish I hadn't asked.

[Jordan.]

She deserves to flop

Bless :(

[Amy Jade]

Beiber deserves to be #1 over her, he's improved so much lately and every song on his album is better than the UK top 10 together

no one can shade Adele:smug: she's better than all of the X factor contestants put together. They all wish to have a career like hers but will never get it.

[Amy Jade]

She deserves to flop

While I don't agree Louisa deserves to flop - Cowell does, the winners songs are utterly dire, he should get somebody to write a decent ballad for the winner instead of rewarding their win with a crappy cover song

[Denver]

The problem with Simon is he only cares about money he doesn't care one bit about Careers and the only reason he cried when 1D split is because he would stop earning money

[LukeB]

:love: and you're a not a Louisa fan as much too.

I prefer Joe - The Climb/Matt Cardle - When We Collide and i'm not even a fan of those contestants. I still like the song but still think it's a poor choice for a winners single.

[Cal.]

Most winners single choices are poor. I think she'll still do it.

[Denver]

Hallelujah will always be the best winners single

[Brother Leon]

A Bieber,Stormzy and 1D top three will be a beautiful way to end the year. :worship: :lovedup:

[Samm]

What's all this fuss about "Stormzy for #1"? Seen it on Twitter quite a bit. Who is Stormzy?

An irrelevant soul trying to steal the xmas limelight, luckily he'll become unknown again after!

[Reg_Holdsworth_Fan]

Being the first X Factor winner to miss the #1 spot is one of the most humiliating things a winner can experience and the thought of this being possible makes me sick in the stomach!!! :yuk:

Beiber deserves to be #1 over her, he's improved so much lately and every song on his album is better than the UK top 10 together
Why?? he's already had his chance at #1!! I find it really boring when the same song is #1 for too long, we need some different songs at #1 and there haven't even been enough #1 songs this year and the new chart rules are a farce anyway, the addition of streaming is just stupid and pointless and moving the charts to Friday was a bad move!!! :rant:

[Iceman]

She had a good career

[Natalie.]

Simon wants her to flop with boring songs so he can claim that's why he doesn't want pretty white girls to win.

Mocky,lol,you're a bit obsessed with this "pretty white girl" thing,I doubt he has even thought about that,she has too much competition to make number one and the song is not all that,the frenzy of a win soon dies down.

I wasn't a fab during the show but I still wish her well, but I don't like her winners song - I can't blame her it's Simon and his team who chose it, I hope her album is better for her and her fans to be proud of.

My favourite winners songs were Leona and Shayne but I think American Idol do it better for winners songs

[MB.]

When I see her I always think 'number 1'

By which I mean I go for a piss break whenever she starts to sing

[Mystic Mock]

Don't you think that her hype has died down a bit too quick considering she's just won though?

Simon favoured her so badly that she won the show (including calling her better than Leona) knowing that it will rile up her fans to not buy Louisa's Music after the show.

Also they had to Sam Bailey her just to win the show which is just horrifying.:umm2:

[Jordan.]

I like Leona and Louisa

I think people are just a bit bored with the usual old ballards Mocky,I don't think it's because of what she looks like,just not enough people have brought the song.

BIB I'm not blaming the public on, I just think Simon hates them though hence why he gave the public the most boring pretty white girl that you can think of to win with the most forgettable cover of all time.

[Jordan.]

Why would Simon want to lose money and be embarrassed at his show/contestants flopping? :unsure:

I don't know as I'm not a control freak like Cowell.

He has a storyboard at all times with his Musicians, and it's certainly not gone away here.

Edit.... He even hasn't hired good PR for her either as she was allowed to say on The Xtra Factor "how she loves the superstar life" It's not been good management with her from the offset of her career, and it's only going to get worse.

[LukeB]

I've been on twitter and all that stuff and the same old comments always comes up "the song is boring" I actually don't think it's anything to do with Louisa herself. She has her own music to put out next year. It's a rubbish song, I prefer it live tbh than the audio version.

As your a fan of her LukeB I'm thinking that you'll have a good chance of knowing this.

Do you know when her Music Video is coming on TV? It's unusually late for an X Factor Winner.

I have no idea, i think after Christmas i think. I know she's performing Text Santa tonight.

Well she's done multiple tv and radio interviews and will be performing on Text Santa tonight so it could be worse :shrug:

He just always finds a way of attacking most of the contemporary ones, and the only pretty white girl winner we have had is so boring, and dated she'll never sell in a million years.

[Niamh.]

So you think he doesn't like them? Why then is he living with one and has another 2 as judges on his show?

[Jordan.]

Ariana Grande could be considered 'boring' yet she's one of the biggest pop stars around now because her voice is great.

[user104658]

It doesn't hurt that she has a head that makes you just wanna stick your penis in there and give her brain a tickle, though. Louisa has unfortunately been given an image that is both generic AND entirely unattractive. She's not an ugly girl by any means... But yeah. Sex factor = zero. She won't sell.

[Denver]

#9 on ITunes now :hehe:

#9 on ITunes now :hehe:

and? the chart deadline was midnight last night and she wasn't #9 then

wait and see next year :hee:

you do know not getting a #1 doesn't mean flop :joker: top 10 isn't considered a flop at all. Many big artists don't get number 1s, are they considered flops no.

Being in the top 10 for 1 week is a massive flop with so much promoting the show gives out

No not really.

No one likes the song, nothing against Louisa :hee:

Doesn't Adam stan Tulisa? I guess he does know about flops afterall lmao

[user104658]

Come on guise... The X Factor hasn't been a "golden ticket" for years. People are pretty much over that style of glitzy reality show, and the generic pop-factory "artists" they churn out. You can't just take any vaguely pretty teenager with zero life experience and shoehorn them into a music career, it's ridiculous.

[Denver]

Doesn't Adam stan Tulisa? I guess he does know about flops afterall lmao

Tulisa had a #1 when will Louisa?

[Jordan.]

Wow one #1 and a bunch of flops, such an inspiring career :fan:

[lewis111]

That's shockingly bad
It was a CHARITY single as well which probably boosted its sales too, if they didn't make it a charity single it might not have charted in the top 10

Congrats on Sax charting higher than 1D

This means that for only the fourth time in UK chart history, this year’s Christmas Number 1 will be announced on Christmas Day itself, with BBC Radio 1 counting down the festive chart within a special Christmas show from 10am to 1pm.

Love Yourself #1 again

Shame it's the worst song on the album!

[Jamie89]

I don't think it really matters. It looks bad but it doesn't actually mean anything. If it did then all the x factor winners who scored #1's would have also had glittering careers. Some do well some don't, and it matters less about the reception of their winners single, and more what they do after the dust settles. This single isn't representative of Louisa the popstar, it's representative of X Factor the TV show. She could still do well.

[lewis111]

She is #2 on the official sales chart tbf and that's what most other Winners singles were judged by

[Headie]

Sax is about to overtake it on iTunes welp

Here for Fleur's eternal top 10 :love:

And I;m not worried about Louisa's future, I remember people saying Little Mix would be flops cause their winners single was one of the least bought out of the x factor winners, yet look at them now!

[Glenn.]

Why is everyone debating this. It's X factor. Love yourselves

[Headie]

#1 on iTunes - The Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Choir - A Bridge Over You

Charley coming for that #1? Chanelle to fume?

[Denver]

You couls say its karma for cheating on her boyfriend :hehe:

[Strictly Jake]

Think Louisa has a great voice but the song is rubbish which won't have helped the sales why can't they have given her a better song. Ah well!

[Amy Jade]

Hayden makes a really good point, I remember people dragging Little Mix after Cannonball and saying they were going to flop because it was a crap song choice yet they are huge now, they're even doing well in America.

Louisa could easily do the same.

[MB.]

Except they got a #1 single with their crap song choice

[reece(:]

All the winner songs have been flops except Leona and Alexandra's, even theirs were underwhelming to the ears.

[Benjamin]

No offence but this didn't even deserve to be in the top ten. What a really bad choice for a winners song. Dreary and forgettable.

I never understand why a winners song is not written for them that showcases their talent rather than a mournful cover mess designed to be all sad and show their "struggled journey".

[Amy Jade]

Except they got a #1 single with their crap song choice

The X Factor had way more hype a few years ago and lots of people have started off with low charting singles and turned out to be massive after taking a bit more control.

[Pete.]

Shane, Leona and Alexandra's are the only ones I can remember without listening to the song

[EspeonBB]

Crap ratings + crap song = flop

We'll have to wait for her album release next year to see if she has a future in music

[Brother Leon]

Hayden makes a really good point, I remember people dragging Little Mix after Cannonball and saying they were going to flop because it was a crap song choice yet they are huge now, they're even doing well in America.

XF was still relevant in their time though and it was still a large enough platform. Besides they still topped the charts and looked like they would do ok.

[Jordan.]

You couls say its karma for cheating on her boyfriend :hehe:

"New X Factor champ Louisa Johnson set to make £6million... next year alone"

I love bad karma

[Vicky.]

OK I just youtubed it as I missed the final because I was on holiday. What sort of **** song choice is this?! Just seen (a bit of) reggie and bollies too and how ridiculous that they were given a slow version too?!

[Mystic Mock]

So you think he doesn't like them? Why then is he living with one and has another 2 as judges on his show?

He certainly doesn't like their Music, I don't know if he hates them as people or not though as I'm not behind the scenes to know.

And Rita isn't white she's mixed race, admittedly I can understand the mix up though with her trying to look more white in skin tone and the blonde hair that had me mixing her and Louisa up nearly every week.

I agree with this, it's aiding **** teeny bopper acts like Justin Bieber who on physical sales finishes only one place higher than Louisa Johnson has just done.

[Mystic Mock]

OK I just youtubed it as I missed the final because I was on holiday. What sort of **** song choice is this?! Just seen (a bit of) reggie and bollies too and how ridiculous that they were given a slow version too?!

Reggie n Bollie's would sell better in the charts than Louisa's though, because a studio can fix dodgy vocals, just look at the careers that 1D, JB, and Olly Murs have had.
