The final of ‘The X Factor UK’ may be a week away, but the British public are proving vocal with who they’re throwing their support behind.
Contestant Fleur East earned praise aplenty during last night’s semi-final episode, after rocking the house with a dynamite performance of Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson‘s newest number ‘Uptown Funk’.
Released to iTunes immediately following, the track has done what no song this season has managed to do.
Details below…
In just 24 hours, the 26 year old’s rendition of the song rocketed to #1 on the digital tally.
An incredible feat on its own accord, it’s rendered even more of an achievement given that the original is still weeks away from its official UK release.
Unfortunately, X Factor performance tracks aren’t eligible to chart on the Official UK Singles count. Yet, with the season on the cusp of its curtain call, this provides an awesome indicator of Fleur’s selling ability post-show.
Viewed this way, she’s already…winning!
