Um..Sony is bleeding right now..album sales are off by 15% this year..MJ gone and they did not meet the sales that they wanted for the packages demo set las xmas. They better hope US radio jumps on board with the winner or it's over...Sony better start cutting the payola checks early...without radio play, the US xfactor winner will sink...and only sell during the xmas holiday like Susan Boyle...if Simon is trying to compete with Gaga, Rihanna, Britney, etc...he needs the winner to get played on the radio like them...
