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

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

They're obviously going to get to no1? How so?

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

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

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

Hahaha... now you're being silly

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

I think perhaps quite a high percentage of her Twitter followers aren't in fact fans.

Novo · 07-08-2011, 02:27 PM

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

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.

I like JLS but am rooting for Cher

.

Zippy spot on, most tracks in the charts nowadays are sampling music that was out ages ago, or from a different generation.

If Cher gets the #1 meltdown from some of her critics, better hide and Gamu will be on the rampage

Cher is on Radio 1 after this song:

Wrong! Cowell is trying to ruin Leonas Career in many ways/ doesn't know what hes doing

Locke. · 07-08-2011, 05:46 PM

Think she thought she was gonna be #3 then

Jordan. · 07-08-2011, 05:49 PM

And how is he doing that?

be specific. He doesn't control her image or how much radio play she gets. Seems to me she is trying to do her own thing and it just ain't working.

TBH she seems to have lost herself and gone a bit LA. Thats not who she is and its not why her fans liked her in the first place.

She had major success under Cowells support.
