RCHP are a real band and attract real music fans, so will always have a fanbase.
Old play are the greatest example of bland music aimed at the masses but also have some good songs like Beige and Magnolia. They are treated as "the band to see" and can choose which tv shows they plug themselves on, so have great promo.
X Factor singers rely on promo from Syco. Look at the difference in sales between James Arthur with Syco & without.
As soon as Louisa leaves Syco she'll be forgotten by those who spend Saturday nights staring at the goldfish bowl. Also look at Sam Bailey.
