I think there's more pressure on the show these days to hit that christmas number one which fair play they did for years and it was allways a no brainier but recently acts aren't even hitting the top 5 so it's a bit of a smart move imo.

I do hate the 6 chair challenge though I hope they aren't extending it to 4 episodes like you said as it's tedious.

TBF these days most songs peak after a few weeks of release due to streaming being such a big influence in the charts, so maybe it's a smart move

Exactly and alot of people will associate that song as a Christmas song which after Christmas is over is unappealing to the majority let's hope they actually write a good winners single that represents the contestant this year.

As long as they don't give the winner a Christmas song this year (not only was matts song awful, but they could only play it for like 2 weeks) then idc what they give them to sing.

Yeah something like Impossible that James Arthur had was much more fitting as it stayed in the charts for weeks and still gets airplay etc. Matt's song was done after a week

It's a shame because last year they didn't clash, and it helped SCD get its highest ever launch (9.3m) which lead to XF getting 8.3m off the back of it

Official ratings
Saturday - 7.77m
Sunday - 7.86m

Saturday down a million on last year, Sunday down only 100k
Saturdays launch is officially the 4th lowest ever (after series 1, then 2, then 3)

The next officials will be tragic, last years same Saturday got 10.2m for week 2 while this year will be around 7.0m........

I love the six chair challenge, matter of fact, I think that is the only part of the X-Factor I have truly enjoyed ever since I've started watching. X-Factor has been a bit boring these past few years, and I have never watched a series in full in like forever. Ratings are still decent tho.

[supertv247]

Last nights X Factor officially had the lowest rating the show has ever had.

The X Factor - 4.8 million
Strictly Come Dancing - 9.4 million

axe it

[RileyH]

just end it

[lewis111]

Literally nothing can save XF as well
Like Back to basics can help a lot of shows but that doesn't help XF at all and when they chuck loads of twist at us it does even worse
I genuinely can't think of anything they can do to help it gain viewers back - they got rid of Louis - didn't work - brought him back - didn't work. Even bringing Cheryl and Sharon back didn't help much
