Ben reaches the top 10 and sells 18k with zero promotion to be fair.

Fleur had a massive push by Syco, the huge promo from Asda and her sales were kinda low and she fails to crack the top 10...I know her fans will spin it to make it look great but Simon and Syco will be dissapointed at her not even managing to get into the top 10.

Also her album is in 3 for £20 in Asdas so she's had a Christmas push too but while there were no Coldplay or Beiber in stock at all and about 5 - 10 of Jess Glynne, 1D and Little Mix the Fleur stock looked relatively full :/

Fleur remains on top, what a queen :love:

Both are epic flops. No one from this series will be doing anything either. Show is on the final legs.

Apart from her single only getting to number 3 and her album 13?

Queen! <333

The general public too broke to afford fine things?

Wasn't Ben's debut single #1 tho?

Every Winners Single goes to #1 unless you're Joe McElderry :laugh:

hnoestly couldn't care less for either

Who and who?

Fleur's song is catchy, but the main issue for her is that she hardly sings on it (but that's a surprise) and she released an uptempo number first which means that it's not gonna sell her Album, I'm not making excuses for her but in fact saying where her Label went wrong with her.

Plus away from some die hard X Factor fans that bought into Simon's rubbish I think that most people will see the two as bland singers, Ben doing better though due to being Pop Rock and being able to have more passable vocals than Fleur.

That's actually not that bigger lead considering she's out at the Christmas period.

And what was Ben's competition then?

But Joe did go to #1

Was Fluer like #7 midweeks :omgno:

Her Album was at #17 in the midweeks I think.

If Simon wants that Album to sell Fleur will need to release a top notch ballad as her follow up to Sax.

Well I'm hardly surprised that Fleur didn't do well.

Don't lie it was at #7 in midweeks.

No I heard that it was 17.

And it's better saying it my way than yours because you're saying that she has no momentum to sell that much during the whole week.:joker:

It was #7 in the midweeks so you heard wrong :)

And she sold 26k in sales, compared to Ben's 18k :)

26k for a #14 album is actually pretty high? That's more than a few #1 albums of late..

Yeah, I think if she had released in any other week she would've got Top 10 easily but Syco had to go and release it in the busiest week of album releases didn't they :fist:

Syco should have released it early like Ben did(but not on the same week as 1D and Justin Bieber though) or early next year. she could have had a top 5 album if there wasn't any big artist around because Diana Vickers had a number 1 album with 30k sales, who also wouldn't have made top 10 if she released the same week as fleur.

Leona's Glassheart was #3 with 27k sales in its first week, Fleur did just genuinely release at such a busy time which is a shame because the figure is impressive
