Rebecca and Matt would have had huge success if they had both released an album of the songs that they sung in the finals, in January 2011.

People have short memories and it's all good and well waiting a year so they can use the publicity from the X Factor shows to push an artist from the year before but I honestly believe that people move on and have forgotten last years results.

Only original artists continue to sell well. Matt is not one of those. Rebecca, with her Randy Crawford husky style will do well, as did Diana, because they are style-specific.

Ray Quinn and the whole swing thing did him good too, considering he had to compete against Leona (who is slowly dropping off the radar).
