They released in different weeks.

But either way, Fleur sold like 5k more copies and probably had hundreds of thousands of pounds extra sunk into her promotion. They both done terribly. Time for Simon to pull the plug.

I guess the other albums sold loads because it's probs a big week for albums or something, Adele,Coldplay,1D,Justin Bieber, Michael Buble.. I saw her sales thing on twitter.

Ben released the album earlier with less competition, Fleur released the album last week at the same time as Adele/Coldplay/Jess Glynne etc. which explains why she charted lower despite selling almost 10k more than Ben Whonow.

Plus her #3 debut single Sax has been in the top 10 for 5 consecutive weeks now, whereas Ben's has never reached the Top 20. So it's clear Fleur is making Syco more money

Fleur debuted at a lower position due to more competition (Adele, Coldplay, Bieber, 1D, Xmas albums from established acts etc.)

And what was Ben's competition then?

That's actually not that bigger lead considering she's out at the Christmas period.
