I think the real point is that it puts the next series of xFactor in jeopardy.
It's a signal that a lot of the public are sick to death of the formulaic rubbish tossed out by these reality shows.
So if I was Simon, I'd be pretty worried now.
It still sold about 10 times as many as the single at the number three spot...
People don't make money from singles sales anymore :/ The money from sales is petty cash.
Compare that with the Tour, the advertising income from the next series of xfactor, etc.
I'm not sure he's quivering in his boots. Even if The X Factor goes down the pan (and it's past its prime, I'd agree), he still has Britain's Got Talent and American Idol raking in the cash pretty quickly.
True, but I do think the age of the reality/kareoke show is nearing a close (Thankfully).
Big brother is gone, hopefully xfactor+britains got freaks, I think the public have grown absolutely sick of the same cheap TV.
10 million viewers a week implies otherwise
