Alexandra Burke Leaves Leona Lewis Trailing In Chart Race

As 'Hallelujah' becomes the fastest-selling download singer ever...

Monday 15th Dec 2008

X Factor winner Alexandra Burke will top the UK singles charts after her debut single Hallelujah became the fastest-selling single via download ever.

Alex's cover of the Leonard Cohen classic was released as a digital-download at midnight on Saturday, just hours after her 15 million viewers watched her triumph over fellow finalists JLS and Eoghon Quigg.

Although the North London lass faces challenges from songs by comedian Peter Kay, broadcaster Terry Wogan and former winner Leona Lewis, her single is all but assured to claim the coveted Christmas number one spot due to her exposure on the show.

A spokesman for HMV said: "The reality is that while they may sell in the tens of thousands, Alexandra will sell in the hundreds of thousands.”

  • I really didnt want her to win. I was JLS all the way. I hope that her and leona will be good friends as they both won x-factor!!! I am glade a bit that she won as i really wanted Cheryl Cole to win on her first year as a judge on x-factor, that will piss Danni off!!!
