It's no use when X-Factor winners go on to have hugely successful careers - there are loads of gags in reality pop show winners disappearing without a trace after huge amounts of TV generated hype, less when the hype is translated into a genuinely successful career. Anyway, last year's X-Factor winner Leona Lewis' current chart topping single 'Bleeding Love' is officially the best selling single so far this year, outselling previous best seller, Mika's 'Grace Kelly', by 10,000 units. And Amazon have said that her debut album 'Spirit', released yesterday, is their most pre-ordered long player of the year - the most pre-ordered release since Arctic Monkeys debut 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not'. So, well done her. Though personally I still prefer Steve Brookstein - there's much more comedy potential in his post-X Factor career.
