They are the most popular act of this year. I won't go through the whole list, but which other contestant from this year has had a two-page interview in The Times, done photoshoots for everyone from Heat and Grazia to i.d (also appearing in their portrait exhibition) and Esquire, appeared on Sky news (and had their interview used as an advert for the channel), had a 2 hour TV presenting job on 4Music, they are now charging more than the other X Factor contestants for future club appearances, there are the film and music rumours, etc, etc.
I haven't really seen anything of the others aside from what they are contractually obliged to do, the morning tv circuit, the club shows, etc.
