Olly's first week album sales are higher than Joe's total album sales so far
 

Olly Murs, last year’s X Factor runner-up, also secures a record breaker with his debut album, the self-titled Olly Murs, a new entry at number two recording the biggest week one album sales (of over 108,000) for a debut artist this year so far.

Joe's album managed less than 40k first week, and hasn't really been seen since (dropping from #3 to #20 in its second week, than vanishing after that).

I always knew (and said many of times on here last year) that Olly would be more successful, but I didn't think he'd almost tripple Joe's first week sales, and beat Joe's total sales in one week.

Thinking Of Me stuck at #4 in the singles chart aswell.

Well done Olly :)

Haha!

Well done to him, but It'll be out of the top 10 next week

woo welldone Olly :D
i wanted him to win when Lucie left.
He was one of my faves :D

Olly,Lucie,Danyl :love:

im getting his album for christmas

Amazing. :love:

Simon may as well drop Joe now.

Who was mentored by Cheryl? No chance.

LOL... Joe fail.

Olly was always going to have this level of success whether he won or not so its best he didn't win or else he'd been as a bit of a flop. The real winner of this years competition will also be the act that finishes second, noone can rival Leona or Alex yet.

74,141 albums Joe has sold so far, in 6 weeks. 108,000 for Olly in one week, which means Olly will probably have doubled Joe's sales this sunday.

Joe's new single is also only #161 on iTunes aswell :\

Poor Joe. :( But well done Olly! :D

I think I might buy his album actually, I really like the sound of it, may have been a great thing that he didn't win actually

I'm not surprised, Olly was a far better singer and all round entertainer than Joe. I loved Olly's voice. Well done to him.

#3 in the mid-weeks :)

It's tuesday

Which sales wise, is pretty much midweek

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday

me no likey olly

Midweeks are released Wednesday

Well I will tell you in advance then

He is #3 tomorrow

The only people who have done well out of the x factor are Leona, JLS, Alexandra Burke, Diana Vickers and now Olly Murs.

I suppose if you dont count the music industry then Stacey has done well.

They said on a music channel a few weeks ago that Journey South are still one of the biggest selling acts in some foreign country, can't remember what country they said though

South Africa! That was it

Amazing. The true winner. It proves he didn't need the title to be successful. Simon must regret so badly not choosing him as the winner, Joe is a waste of space and money.

Well done Olly. Seriously, him and Rhydian are pretty much what the X Factor did best.

edit: and it proves one more time one of the most important "Reality-TV" fact: the runner-up is 95% better than the winner, whether it's a singing contest, living in a house, in a jungle or anything else.

:love:
