I think Union J had a strong first two weeks (Week 1 because they were slated, Week 2 because they "came back") and a strong Week 5 (when they did Taylor Swift). On all other weeks, they may have been scraping through.

I think Rylan may have been scraping through on all weeks except when he did Spice Girls.
Ella was near the top of the votes early, but her votes dwindled as time passed.”
I agree about Union J, I'm also interested to see who came higher in week 7, Rylan or Union J.
The voting leak said Chris topped the first 7 weeks so from that we can only presume he's continued his reign until week 9.
Agree about UJ, I think they could have either been 5th/6th in week 1 because they were slated or they could've just scraped through. Their week 5 was probably their strongest (comeback, rebound effect, etc).
I agree about Ella. From what we know she was 2nd and 3rd in the first two weeks, what I'm interested in is whether it was the uptempo sound she started in week 3 that started the decline or the off-par performance she gave in week 4.
