    Jeref, why do you constantly feel the need to make these bitchy comments? Was this really necessary? :confused:

    The irony is that he's posting on the 'XF brings out the worst in people' thread as if he's above it all.

    Proper lols.

    Especially after Jeref made this sanctimonious post in another topic about XF bringing out the worst in forum members!
    You are so right there. ~That is why i did'nt bother staying on here very long. So many people going completely over the top over what is just a singing competition. You would have thought it was the most important event in the world to some. Hopefully back to a bit of normality today.
    Laughable when their own posts were littered with digs at Ben last night and still can't help themselves this morning.
    One could surmise that THEY are indeed going 'completely over the top' with the need for bitchy little comments about something they're trying to claim isn't that important to them...

    He is having his five mins of fame.

    Someone needs to practice what they preach on another thread. ;-)

    Uptown Funk will make a comeback from tomorrow. Ben is everywhere today & everyone is still buying the single, first two days is mega sales then it tails off and we'll see what happens.

    Whether you like Ben or not it's a great song choice. I heard it on Capital FM before, it sounds good on the radio and hopefully with radio play it will appeal to non X Factor viewers.

    Based on previous X-Factor release statistics, at this point Ben has about 33% of chance to be the the Christmas #1.

    There is a 0% chance that anyone other than Ben will make number one.

    Apologies for going off topic and bringing a tiring subject up but can I ask where this assumption only "middle aged housewives" are fans of Ben? I'm 28 and definitely not a housewife or middle aged and I've been a fan of Ben since his audition. If he didn't win I'd have liked Fleur to, who I'm also a fan of, so I was pretty happy with the top two we had.

    Great lead for Ben there!

    It'll be interesting to see how it sustains itself over the week. Is it getting much radio play yet?

    Oh oh. Ben is starting to lose stream, his odds to be #1 are now down to 16.66% unless the physical release (if it happens this week) gives him a good push.

    1 Ben Haenow - Something I Need 1.0000
    2 Mark Ronson - Uptown Funk (feat. Bruno Mars) 0.4139

    This site shows an approximation of the sales data:
    http://www.digitalsalesdata.com/diydsd.php?Region=143444

    They estimate that Ben has had 40323 sales in the last 24 hours, compared to Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars on 16691. However, Uptown Funk has an extra day of sales before the winners single was released, and we don't know how well Ben will do on Streaming, I think Uptown Funk was the most streamed song in the UK earlier today. At least it will be an interesting race for Christmas Number One, even if there are only two contenders at the moment!

    #2 now (23:00). Ah, and the title has now been changed on iTunes to "Something I Need".

    iTunes latest Ben 1/6/32/37 - 4 in the top 40 not bad

    Fleur 9/33

    Bookies odds for Ben to be Xmas No 1 very high, a certain bet at 1/7
