It's true, love the fact that she's not afraid to be controversial some artists that are just go for the niceties every time annoy me because no-one is perfect.

The fact JLS have had 5 number ones repulses me.

Their only 2 songs worthy of number one IMO are Everybody In Love and Eyes Wide Shut. And the latter didn't even manage it

That is the only reason Cher is at no1 this week...

Take all the classical acts out of that list for a start as Cowell doesn't market them for the UK charts..

That leaves: Steve Brookstien - number 1 debut
Leon Jackson - no1 debut
Joe Mcelderry - no1 debut.

Same Difference don't count as they're just a joke

[Novo]

^ what a load of ****

[Locke.]

Susan Boyle isn't classical and had performances on X Factor to market herself to the UK charts.

Steve, Leon and Joe debuted at #193, #3, #3.

And Same Difference released singles and albums.. they count

Not really, she just has more fans than people think.

Well she has more followers on twitter and facebook + their song has been out 2 weeks now it was bound to decline in sales.

Winners singles don't count, they are obviously going to get #1 and the artist has nothing at all to do with them.

Their first proper singles are what they release after actually working on them

Let's not waste each others time with silly questions you already know the answer

+ Cher has 492,800 followers on twitter, and 1.66 Million fans on Facebook.. Has done single signings earlier in the week which were packed out.

I guess all those accounts that follow and like her are Simon, and that he can transform himself into other people to attend her signins

Hahaha... now you're being silly

Believe me, Cowell uses his money to ensure the likes of this tat sells enough to make no1.

There are watchdogs in place to check for foul play with record sales. Simon is not stupid enough to risk his rep and standing in the industry by fixing sales. If thats what you mean.

Indeed many XF acts have flopped. I think Cowell is a realist and just lets them sink or swim by themselves. He can't keep covering their arses. Plus he always has new talent lined up constantly.

And Chers record is very commercial and catchy. You may not rate it but its really not hard to see why its a hit. Indeed it actually sounds like several other hits combined.

[Locke.]

If they were both released the same week JLS would have got #1, but thankfully good old Cher decided to release it a week later. Smart girl that she is

[Novo]

Probably about 0.1% aren't her fans one for each article

[Jordan.]

Cher is on Radio 1 after this song:
