I remember Xtina's Bionic went #1 with like 23k and there have been albums since which have sold less yet still went to #1. Fleur numbers are fine, she just released at a bad time

yeah I mean Cheryl's latest sold less than that a charted far higher

I think one of the weeks Emeli Sande was #1 she sold obout 14k copies

The X Factor is a dying giant and it's a shame that a performer as effusive and energetic as Fleur is suffering as a result - I think Sax is really derivative to the point of being embarrassing but it's parodying good songs and it's a fun track that she sells well. I hope they give her a shot at a second album because if they put the money behind her, I'm sure she'll do well... but Syco's method seems to be to throw average middle of the road **** at their success stories and do everything in their power to sabotage them. It's a very strange business model.

Sax was obviously some misguided attempt at an Uptown Funk smash because she had a popular performance that one time. :joker:

Can't have been that misguided as it debuted at #3 behind Adele & Bieber and hasn't charted outside the Top 10 since release :clap1:

Misguided in its quality and attempt to be Uptown Funk. :hee:

i really like sax tbh

I think it sounds more like Michael Jackson than Uptown Funk tbh :shrug:

I really do not give a crap about x factor people after the show ends. I don't understand people who bicker on about this years later :laugh:

Physical Sales tend to be higher around this time tbf.

Hence why the people above her would has sold what they did too.

They have just released music, this is not years later. :nono:

But Fleur would've sold less than Ben if she'd released it at an earlier date as sales aren't as strong then.

Simon gave her the wrong song to sell her Album, all it shows the public is that she's a dancer with a catchy song, and not really much performing and singing going on.

People want artists that push the boat out a little bit, not someone being wired up to do a few dance moves.
