Alexandra has been lucky to ride a sales wave these last few weeks. Credible winners always sell brilliantly (Shayne, Leona and Alex) but she's also had the advantage of a much longer run in to Christmas after her win, singles sales picking up from the abysmal levels in 2005-06, and Woolworths going into administration and closing hundreds of stores across the country. They've been selling off their stock very cheaply with Alex's CD single being sold for just 10p in many stores - and even being given away free in some cases when you've bought other items! The last of the shops finally closed today, and administrators told the staff to get rid of everything - they were even selling the shelves and cash tills. This has given Alex a huge physical "sales" boost.
There was also the fact she was given a classic song to sing and the huge hype of the chart battle with Jeff Buckley's version ensuring massive publicity.
Since 2005? Seriously? I thought maybe those Sugar****s or the other UK acts you all rave about would have done that..I keep forgetting people sell less in the UK

It's pretty impressive, if u think that the song is boring as hell and it's not that amazing to sell that much but good for her, let's see how does she do. Btw stop comparing her with Leona cuz they have nothing in common.
