Tbf to Simon he was basing it off the midweek sales when Ben was at number 5 in the Albums Chart.

Considering he had no promotion from Simon his actually not done too bad, especially for a male Over.

It's just sad that Simon favours Fleur on such an Olly level that it builds resentment towards them as would they have finished 2nd in their respective series without Simon's pimping? And would they have had more success in the charts than the winner without Simon's pimping?

Well done to Fleur, it's just a shame that Simon cheapens her achievements by not actually making it a competition when it's to do with her.

Every singer has more charisma than Ben Haenow, but Fleur doesn't really have much either hence why she uses dance routines to cover up her poor performing skills and vocals, ironically like a Robbie Williams/Olly Murs figure in female form.

One of the reasons for X Factor's ratings decline has got to be that viewers see the competition doesn't count for much anymore. They just sign up whoever they think will do best commercially.
