Digital Spy's ultimate rankings of the winners singles

Rate the winners singles from 11 to 1. Your favourite one will get 11 points, second favourite 10 points, and so on.

Voting will close on Saturday at 11:59pm. I'll add up the results and present them, and we'll see what our favourite winners single is! I think it's fairly obvious which will win, but it'll be interesting how the others fare.

To remind you, the winners' singles are:

2004: Steve Brookstein - Against All Odds
2005: Shayne Ward - That's My Goal
2006: Leona Lewis - A Moment Like This
2007: Leon Jackson - When You Believe
2008: Alexandra Burke - Hallelujah
2009: Joe McElderry - The Climb
2010: Matt Cardle - When We Collide
2011: Little Mix - Cannonball
2012: James Arthur - Impossible
2013: Sam Bailey - Skyscraper
2014: Ben Haenow - Something I Need

---

My ranking are:

11 points - Alexandra Burke - Hallelujah
10 points - Ben Haenow - Something I Need
9 points - Little Mix - Cannonball
8 points - James Arthur - Impossible
7 points - Leona Lewis - A Moment Like This
6 points - Sam Bailey - Skyscraper
5 points - Shayne Ward - That's My Goal
4 points - Steve Brookstein - Against All Odds
3 points - Leon Jackson - When You Believe
2 points - Matt Cardle - When We Collide
1 point - Joe McElderry - The Climb

11 pts = Leona Lewis - A Moment Like This
10 pts = Alexandra Burke - Hallelujah
9 pts = James Arthur - Impossible
8 pts = Little Mix - Cannonball
7 pts = Shayne Ward - That's My Goal
6 pts = Ben Haenow - Something I Need
5 pts = Matt Cardle - When We Collide
4 pts = Steve Brookstein - Against All Odds
3 pts = Sam Bailey - Skyscraper

Shame the UK X Factor can't have winner's singles like these:

Samantha Jade - What You've Done To Me (Australia)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQc3L0rl1cU

Ida - I Can Be (Denmark)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvIm5mAqoXk

I really don't understand why other countries get it so much better when it comes to X Factor.

all of them are bloody awful apart from Burke's.

i have not enough passion to rate them. 'impossible' was great also, but the original by Shontelle, not the ghastly one by James.

these winners singles is the main reason i am now glad Fleur did not win !
she can create a body of work without being tainted by this poppycock

Couldn't even tell you how 'Cannonball' goes!

Hate James Arthur but 'Impossible' is the only song that can still be played on the radio today and hold its own as a stand alone single rather than a 'Winners Song'.

The top 5 are fabulous, but the quality soon dips. The next three are tolerable though. I've never liked Against all Odds as a song and Steve is dull, but SIN is so lifeless and dull thanks to Ben's voice, considering it's actually more uptempo than pretty much all winner's singles and Skyscraper is murder of my second favourite song as much as I did like Sam on the show!

Cannonball wasn't just a bad XF winner's cover, it was one of the worst ever covers that made it to number one in chart history.
