JK2006	Completely agree Dixie and for that reason, when ITV decided to cancel the show, I approached the BPI and asked them to help find an alternate broadcaster. Zero. Nothing. Silence. I would have thought such an obvious boost to retail, labels, radio, promoters - was a certain asset. John Kennedy said the Boyzone album sold a million more albums after they won than it would have done - that was ten million pounds extra profit for PolyGram in one week - but imagine the extra sales in shops with customers coming in to buy No Matter What or Flying Without Wings for Granny and grabbing a few of their own favourites at the same time. And for ITV? 9.7 million viewers. BPI? Wankers.
dixie	If X Factor concludes on weekend of 10th/11th December, as has been widely reported, then it leaves ITV a free spot on Saturday 17th December. A great night for a prime slot reviewing the best Records of the Year, and a vehicle to sell bucket loads of albums in that crucial final week before Christmas. Possibly even releasing a related album into the market to co-inside.
JK2006	My personal choice is Bruno's brilliant Lazy Song (for the whistle hook and the superb uninterested girl saying "it was great") - 10th biggest seller of the year - but his Grenade is 4th biggest of the year with 800,000 against 550,000. Adele is of course the Queen of the Year - her Someone is 1st with over a million singles and Rolling In The Deep is 7th. My second choice is also second biggest - Jessie J with Price Tag. And Ed Sheeran's A Team is going up nicely - 470,000 and building. What a great terrestrial TV show for someone to snap up in December.
