We’re often reminded that one objective of 'The X Factor' is to find “an international recording artist” who can sell records. However, despite watching the show fervently every year, I haven’t been moved to purchase a single track by any act.

How many songs of X Factor alumni do you have in your collection?

Zero. Not even the charity singles.

I have Kelly Clarkson's first album though. That's it for reality tv pop stars.

I have Run as a download (Leona Lewis) and I also have Hallelujah.

However, I do have some early stuff that Carolynne Poole did from her Fame Academy days!

I've quite a few CD albums, and most of the winner's singles, but I haven't bought any of them new.

Paid as little as 20p each, from places like webuy.com, or charity shops. I don't tend to listen to them much beyond a first scan - they're all from years ago, half of them are not even people I highly rated, and were purchased more as dirt-cheap XF souvenirs.

There's the 2 Journey South's, all 3 of Shayne's, first 3 of Andy Abraham's, Steve Brookstein, Leona's, Ray Quinn, Leon Jackson, Rhydian, Ben Mills.

JLS, Olly etc will follow when they start tarting out at 20p - 50p.

I think James is the only X Factor act who might make me buy new, depending on what type of album he does. He's a 'first hand' act.

Only two Cds of Rhydian - I loved him but he seems to have disappeared.

I have aiden Grimshaw, Alexandra Burke & leona on my iPod. I have bought more in the past like Diana vickers, jls, Shayne ward but that was back when I bought CDs & I haven't listened to them in years.

I did download James Arthur's adele & Kelly clarkson performances.

I do however own every Kelly clarkson and Carrie Underwood album (I know they are AI).

I have loads of stuff on my iPod from slipknot to pink floyd to the vengaboys. I think it depends how good the songs are & the mood I'm in. Can't beat a bit of cheese when partying.

Diana Vickers.

The contestants I'm interested about hearing something from or potentially buying it never will get the chance to release it.

I don't anything from X Factor or songs out of X Factor.

I have a Spotify Premium membership so tend to listen to anything I want to on there

I don't have any but my girlfriend does.

All of Will Young's CDs, two Shayne Wards, Rebecca's and I bought her the Little Mix single for Christmas last year for a laugh. She downloaded some tracks of Marcus as well.

Excluding tracks that turned up on the NOW compilation series I have bought ......... nothing.

But then maybe that's because I'm something Simon Cowell clearly is not ... I'm a music fan.

Which is why I have bought all of Pop Idol 1 Winner Will Young's studio albums; and own 2 Kelly Clarkson & 1 Carrie Underwood album.

I have nearly all the winners singles except the first x factor winner and when Leon won.
I have the last two Leona albums, Olly Murs album, Alexandra's first album and didn't like it.

I have most of Kelly Clarksons . I think I bought Adam Lamberts once.
