How the X Factor affects UK chart sales

0 comments By Steven Wilson-Beales Filed in entertainment Tagged with cheryl cole, JLS, leona lewis, mariah carey, nielsen, simon cowell, susan boyle, tv, X Factor January 15th, 2010 @ 9:13 AM

Just received this from Nielsen. Pretty obvious, but still extremely interesting. It’s a shame that X Factor is now only one of very few shows on TV that artists can perform – the whole event is so theatrical it reflects badly on natural talent. But that may have always have been the case with tv talent contests.

I’ll still be watching it this year though!

Cheryl Cole: MSN Music Guest Editor

Love this. A few weeks back we asked Cheryl to guest edit the MSN Music channel and she’s come up trumps. We’ve not only got an interview with her, she’s also penned her very own Editor’s Letter to MSN Music fans together with a list of what she’s into at the moment. Makes for some interesting reading.

Enjoy!
