So excluding +1 for The X Factor gives you about ~10.6m average and ~11.8m peak.

10.9m average...hmmmm....not good for a final but I expect tonight's show to be at least in the 12m range. The share will be interesting to see as well for tonight's show.

Is HD included in those figures?

So even with a repeat it still lost out to Strictly!

Don't know why the ITVistas are putting it all down to Bieber. Isn't he one of the biggest stars on the planet?

TXF really needs to rate well tonight, but at 2hrs they are really string it out. No Matt Cardle tonight - but they do have Westlife & Coldplay to keep the 'excitement' up.

The Bieber show targets quite a niche audience, I would have thought.

It should definitely be at least in the 12m range, no question about it. Last night's X Factor performance show was down -25% year-on-year. Tonight as there's no Strictly clash, I reckon it'll be down more like -23% like last Sunday's episode. So compared to last year's 17.2m that would make it get around 13.2m (exc +1).

According to D.M.N.'s End of Year chart, The Royal Wedding officially had 13.95m. To get that #1 spot, tonight's X Factor really needs to get something like 13.4m-13.6m (exc +1) in the overnights. The timeshift for the final is always low (around 0.5-0.7m) and if it doesn't get that figure, it looks like The Royal Wedding (inc BBC News simulcast) will be the most watched programme of the year in terms of peak and average - unless Strictly really pulls it out of the bag next week.

Mediocre to the end. A bad series for X Factor standards.

According to ITV he is a "global superstar."

Coincidentally, if it did get 13.2m tonight, it would be the lowest rated final results show since 2007. I would have thought it could get 13m tonight, even with a lack of momentum for the Sunday shows.

To be clear, by "the Royal Wedding", we mean the BBC all morning 8.30am to 1.35pm coverage. The ceremonials got about 19m for the BBC, far and away the most watched TV of the year. It might help if DMN'S chart properly reflected the fact it is a 5 hour marathon telecast that got reported.

I don't want to put the ratings down, but I do remember just 2 years ago when Lucie was eliminated over Jedward, and that got 14m I think, and for a final 2 years on, to not hit 11m is strange.

This series has felt weaker compared to the past few and i put that down to the sudden change in the judges added to the fact that the contestants haven't been exceptional. I do think it is unfair to slag it off completely as it still manages to do really well. It would seem some are just looking for any grain to use to smear the programme and channel simply because they don't like it and that for me is a bad trait.

Will do.

If BARB actually gave an exact official figure for the BBC showing for the ceremony - ie ~19m - then I would add it in. We'll see what BARB do when it comes to their 2011 Top 10 and see what they put as the official figure as I suspect it'll be one quoted by a lot of websites as the 'most watched show of the year'.

I also thought the weather would result in a bigger bump than usual from the semi-final to the final for X Factor. This is the first weekend where it's really been absolutely freezing. So I thought the totals for both shows would be up. Looks like those who decided to stay in all watched SCD.

It would seem some are just looking for any grain to use to smear the programme and channel simply because they don't like it and that for me is a bad trait.
I agree that some maybe take a bit too much glee in the fact the ratings aren't all that. However it's not hard to make a 25% decline year on year look bad. That number alone does it.

If only they had split that marathon so the 19 million figure for the actual ceremonial could have been reported by BARB. They've done it for World Cup matches, Diana's funeral amongst other things.

I agree, that is what ITV did and the BBC could have done the same. I guess they aren't as ratings obsessed as some on here think...

BBC1 (SD & HD) - 18.9 million
ITV (SD & HD) - 5.9 million
Others - 1.2 million

Total average for the ceremony across 12 channels was 26 million (91.2%). Peak was 26.3 million.

The Killing (BBC4) had 700k at 9pm and 592k at 10pm.

Thanks. Are those the overnights or consolidated figures? The consolidated ratings for the actual ceremony weren't released and the above seems to look like the overnights IIRC. Even ITV's ratings weren't split up in the BARB officials in the end, with just one rating for the entire morning coverage.

I think it has a better chance of that tonight. The X Factor always does better on Sundays. Losing overnights on Saturday to Strictly Come Dancing for a high profile show is embarrassing for them.

But they're overnights not finals. Really glad Strictly is doing well though.

the XFactor has had a poor series, so it is no surprise to see the final underwhelm in the ratings.

it is however ironic that the final was arguably the best final they have organsised (rivaled the Alexandra-JLS finale in my opinion) I loved the staging, and even the judges gave a decent performance (I was expecting Tulisa and Kelly to struggle)

for me the biggest problem this year was all the manufactured hype, which has grown to ridiculous levels and is now grating on the public.

in previous years events in the press were just handled on the show with a simple comment from a judge like "you've had a tough week" now the judges are shouting at acts that they are bullies, everyone is in tears every 5 mins...and it is getting very tiring.
