How sad that people are glad he didn't do so well. If it was the other way round on their favoruite you know they'd be saying how tasteless it is to wish failure on their chosen winner. Whoever won X-Factor would have failed at getting #1, the brand of X-Factor is not what it was, Matts actually outselling Louisa by a fair amount with far less viewing figures from the previous year. He's done alright in todays digital download market, and with the chart being dominated by streaming now.

I can honestly tell you if Saara had released that song I would still not have bought it. It's dull and forgettable and that on top of Matt himself being dull and forgettable it's crashed and burned

In comparison to last year it's doing really well, with a few million less viewing figures its easily outselling Louisa regardless, and managed to get #3, with Louisa not even getting top 5. So I'd hardly say hes flopped, we have nothing else to compare it to now. Everyone else is from a different time of X-Factor when the brand was entirely different.

Also Little Mix's winning single did horrendously bad, as it was in the times of the million sellers of X-factor singles and still hasn't achieved 500,000 - but look at them now.
