Leona's Glassheart was #3 with 27k sales in its first week, Fleur did just genuinely release at such a busy time which is a shame because the figure is impressive

I remember Xtina's Bionic went #1 with like 23k and there have been albums since which have sold less yet still went to #1. Fleur numbers are fine, she just released at a bad time

Physical Sales tend to be higher around this time tbf.

Hence why the people above her would has sold what they did too.

The X Factor is a dying giant and it's a shame that a performer as effusive and energetic as Fleur is suffering as a result - I think Sax is really derivative to the point of being embarrassing but it's parodying good songs and it's a fun track that she sells well. I hope they give her a shot at a second album because if they put the money behind her, I'm sure she'll do well... but Syco's method seems to be to throw average middle of the road **** at their success stories and do everything in their power to sabotage them. It's a very strange business model.

Sax was obviously some misguided attempt at an Uptown Funk smash because she had a popular performance that one time.

Can't have been that misguided as it debuted at #3 behind Adele & Bieber and hasn't charted outside the Top 10 since release

Misguided in its quality and attempt to be Uptown Funk.

[Dollface]

i really like sax tbh

[Headie]

I think it sounds more like Michael Jackson than Uptown Funk tbh

I really do not give a crap about x factor people after the show ends. I don't understand people who bicker on about this years later

They have just released music, this is not years later.
