They must do, but from what I've heard performance royalties aren't really all that much all things considered (I mean in general, not just for XFactor acts). Songwriting is where the real money is.

Performers (any not just the X Factor people) make nothing from Singles. To make money for the label and for themselves they need to shift albums and tour.
