Leona Lewis's Christmas album sold over 100,000 copies in 3 weeks, that was SEVEN years after she won X Factor. Sam won 3 months before her album was released. Let's see where she is a few years.
I don't think that a given I mean look at james Arthur last year so I say give a couple of years I hope she around if not she might make it as a presenter
people who win success don't alaway have success matt cardle, leon Jackson it seem women and girl band seems to do better
Yeah, to be fair to Sam she does seem very grateful and humble so fair play to her. She's probably at a time of life where she knows the opportunity she has been given and doesn't want to take it for granted like James Arthur.
personally I think he should be fired what the saying you don't bite the hand that feed you I don't like the way he is ruining his caereer just to make a name for himself
As for sam I think that y people like her because she down to earth she said even before she started she don't want to take it for granted as she don't know how long it will last
I definitely think Sam will be around for a while, whether in music or not. She seems well liked by ITV and the ITV audience, appearing on a lot of their shows. I'd expect her to be on Loose Women soon, which, whilst maybe not where she aimed to be, this time last year she was a prison guard.
Wonderful achievement, lets add it to the winners list.

Wow, I never knew Leona sold 3m albums in 3 weeks
What period of time are you looking at though? Is this after 3 weeks for everyone, or is it a longer period for all other than Sam?
I think what it shows, from a Syco point of view, is that they should release a winner's album straight away each time. They do it in Australia, it covers their performances on the show and it always charts well. As Syco are just in it for the money, I find it odd that they don't do it with all of the winners over here.
Anyway, good for her, but I suppose, as someone else said, it's the second album that is the most telling. Do you have the stats for second album releases Sod It?
I put my glasses on, then used a magnifying glass, then finally binoculars and still can't see that quote that said Leona sold 3m in 3 weeks.
But if it makes you happy fair enough.
feel free to update the list as time goes by.
It's roughly around this..
Leona Lewis, Echo - 600,000+
