There was some formula to calculate it so it was an objective measure, not subjective

^ Good one, did well


IMO young Arctic Monkeys kids are the uncrowned music kings of the decade.

YouTube - Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor

Theres only 6 or so songs from that list I like, and I beleive Taylor Swifts Love Story should be on that list.

Only if it sold more than 461,500 copies

IMO generally, Xfactor finalists aren't that awful. Leona Lewis, Subo and new kid Joe are actually excellent singers, even when they sing other people's songs. Little Joe's win over that dancing clown Ollie did re-establish my belief in the Xfactor lovers that they do like quality singers. What gets to me ears is the songs like "Umbrella, Umbrella, Umbrella" doing a complete head in! If that song sticks to this list (which it obviously does!), God is the DJ!

Shows the general pubic dont care a jot for originality
