Rebecca Ferguson has been named the most successful act from last year's crop of X Factor contestants by Amazon.

The online retailer revealed that pre-orders of Heaven surpassed those of winner Matt Cardle, One Direction and Cher Lloyd.

The album beat pre-orders of Lloyd's Sticks + Stones by 571%, Cardle's Letters by 181% and One Direction's Up All Night by 11%.

Amazon's Head of Music Buying Paul Firth said: "Rebecca Ferguson's strong pre-order performance is a good indicator that she is set to follow in the footsteps of the very successful X Factor runners-up in previous years by achieving stronger sales than the ultimate winner.

"Over the past three years we've seen Rebecca Ferguson ahead of Matt Cardle, Olly Murs ahead of Joe McElderry and JLS ahead of Alexandra Burke in the charts and with Rebecca Ferguson, Olly Murs, One Direction and JLS all with albums in the top 20 we're sure that this weekend's runners-up will be pleased to know that all's not lost if they miss out on the coveted win."

Ferguson's album is currently on course to chart inside the top three in the UK albums chart on Sunday.
Y'all can stay mad, she's the real winner http://gagadaily.com/public/style_em...lt/flutter.gif

Never going to be the most successful when it comes to singles though http://gagadaily.com/public/style_em...lt/flutter.gif

Some of the biggest names in history wouldn't be able to sell singles now to be fair, she is an album artist.

MeMyselfAndI 09-12-2011 10:48 AM
Alot of people here in the UK have trouble with sleeping, so they bought her album to help

Callum 09-12-2011 11:41 AM
I'm glad, she deserves that title. She was the most talented from last years series by a long mile. I need to buy her album.

No, that's one direction, they had the fastest selling single of the year, good for them http://i.imgur.com/RBmIo.png

That doesn't even make sense :joker:

Niamh. 09-12-2011 01:00 PM
Good for her, she's a very talented

Niall 09-12-2011 02:22 PM
I don't know who she is, but the margin at which she outsold Cher is bloody hilarious :laugh2:

Locke. 09-12-2011 02:24 PM
Only on pre-orders.

If she charts top 3, that is excellent......the most talented maybe, but I thought she was in danger of being overlooked with the (relative) success of Cher, One Dimension and Cardle. NOT SO, apparently...good on yer, Becky!! :spin:

What makes LESS sense is the apparent rush (well, sort of) to buy Olly Murs' album. He fiited in really well with the Muppets on XF last week. You couldn't see the join :joker: Only presume his stint on XTRA factor has won him a few part-time girly fans.....

Jords 09-12-2011 03:06 PM
Her first single is boring but I will get around to listening to the album, has amazing reviews.

Getting my mum it for Xmas too because she loves her voice.

fruit_cake 09-12-2011 03:10 PM
I thought she was the most naturally talented last year

Olly has a good fanbase, his first album went double platinum and his new one sold 148,000 in its first week which is 40k higher than the first week of his first album.. So I reckon he will end up going double platinum again.

Dance With Me Tonight is #1 in todays chart aswell 3 weeks after its release, so is probably going to end up being his biggest selling single.

Mystic Mock 09-12-2011 03:21 PM
Im not her biggest fan but well done to her,especially for beating One Direction.

Marc 09-12-2011 03:22 PM
Her voice is awful IMO

bbfan1991 09-12-2011 03:26 PM
Fair play to her, however, I still find her dull and lacking any star quality..

Brother Leon 09-12-2011 04:08 PM
We all know that title truly belongs to the 1D boys :worship:

Shaun 09-12-2011 04:10 PM
just goes to show my favourites are always the best :idc:

Shaun 09-12-2011 04:10 PM
even if my favourite was Paije ¬_¬

Smithy 09-12-2011 04:13 PM
She's in the midweeks @ #3 with 95,396

I feel like a proud mother

bbfan1991 09-12-2011 04:28 PM
I always like most of the marmite acts. JLS are probably the act I supported who has done the best!:joker:

Doogle 09-12-2011 05:27 PM
Thank goodness, brilliant news. Was so worried she would flop horrifically.

LaLaLand 09-12-2011 06:35 PM
Amazing news, can't wait to buy it.

SiaSiaSia 09-12-2011 07:08 PM

It charted at #10, that's not terrible? :conf2:

She's obviously an album seller

I never understand why people even bother buying singles, seems like a waste of money to me. Why not just get the whole album?

90% of the time now, you can buy a single on iTunes then when the albums released, use the "Complete My Album" option, which lets you buy the album with the cost of the single deducted

And just in time for christmas :idc:

IheartBB 11-12-2011 05:59 PM
Yes, because success as a music artist start and ends with Amazon pre-sales :joker:

1D's first week album sales was 138,000. If Ferguson sold more than this and finished #3 it was a bloody good week for the music industry :shrug:

Smithy 11-12-2011 06:04 PM
It's december sales are always high in december, she'd sold just under 100k by the end of the day thursday and had friday & saturday when sales are generally at their highest during the week

Smithy 13-12-2011 04:42 PM
I won a signed copy
