Pixie Lott is a very different artist to Joe.

Remember Joe was on a programme last week that gets 11-12 million viewers. This was his first single after a year away. He's on a very 'unforgiving' record label that drops as many artists as it signs.

Pixie is more in control of her music - she's a history of successful songs already (her first two were no. 1s), she writes her own stuff and has a fanbase. He current single is just off a reactivated album (which should storm back into the chart).

I like Joe and I'm not celebrating his failure but that's how it will be seen. If his album doesn't get to no. 1 and stick around the chart for more than a couple of weeks .... well, ask Leon Jackson.
