ALEXANDRA BURKE 1 Hallelujah Syco CD: 88697446252 : Leonard Cohen Website: http://www.alexandraburkeofficial.com B-Side: Candyman (live on The X Factor) / Without You (live on The X Factor) The biggest selling X-Factor winners song for years and the second single to feature Alexandra Burke after she was featured on the Charity Number 1 'Hero', which lost the top spot four weeks ago after spending three weeks at Number 1. Only artists who have knocked themselves off Number 1 - , and Elvis Presley - have had shorter visits between Number 1 by different records. Elvis managed to have just 1 week between appearances at Number 1 in 2005 with his re-release series - He was number 1 on 15, 22 Jan and 5 Feb with three different songs. Already the second biggest seller of 2008, 'Hallelujah' is highly likely to become the biggest seller of the year, a feat that no X Factor song has ever managed to do. Either way, Alexandra has the biggest seller of 2008 in one form or another - 'Hero' will be either the second or the biggest seller for 2008. 08.11.2008 † 1 8w Hero (1082)* The X Factor Finalists Syco

LEONARD COHEN 36 Hallelujah Sony CD: NLB638860001 Producer: John Lissauer Composer: Leonard Cohen Website: http://www.leonardcohen.com He has never - ever - charted a single in the UK before. He has never charted in the Billboard Hot 100 either. However, he has spent 209 weeks on the UK album chart, peaking at number 2 in May 1969 with ''. His album 'The Essential' returns at number 122 to the album chart this week. He has certainly done very well out of X Factor with 5 versions of his song making the Top 200 this week - 3 completely new to the Top 200 (Alexandra, above at #1, Bon Jovi, to follow and Leonard's own version.) *** No Previous Chart Entries ***

JEFF BUCKLEY 2 Hallelujah Columbia/Legacy CD: 88697098847 DL: USSM19400915 Composer: Leonard Cohen Website: http://www.jeffbuckley.com Stocks of the original 7" of this have long since gone and it has sold the 80,000 reported on BBC News online this week as a download-only track. Never destined to out-perform the X Factor Winner, this version is widely regarded to be the best. Newspaper reported recently that 'Hallelujah' was becoming the most talked about song. Spurred by a fan campaign to get this track to Number 1 the song leaps 30-2 this week, and 29- the Download chart. The last time that the same song, by different artists, has been at Number 1 and 2 was on 19 Jan 1957 when ' The Blues' was at Number 1 for Guy Mitchell and Number 2 for Tommy Steele & The Steelmen. Jeff Buckley's fans wanted this track to be Number 1. They didn't get their wish this week, but they might the week after next. Next week will certainly be the X Factor winner because, statistically, the Christmas Number 1 stays at Number 1 for a few weeks into January. But, the chart for 10 Jan 2009... who knows! 27.05.1995 54 6w Last Goodbye Columbia 06.06.1998 43 5w Everybody Here Wants You Columbia 02.06.2007 † 2 26w Hallelujah (7" release, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of his death) Columbia/Legacy
