X Factor UK – Week 1 – The Results

Tonight, each mentor will have to send home one of their own acts. Matt Cardle and Cee Lo Green perform.

X Factor Results after the Jump.

The show starts at 8pm BST (3pm EDT) on ITV 1.

16 remaining acts will be cut down to 12 tonight. Hopefully this will be the last big cut this season.

Matt Cardle and Cee Lo Green perform tonight.

Matt Cardle’s “Run For Your Life” was released to iTunes Ireland on Thursday and currently sits at #22. It was released last night at midnight in the UK and it sits at #10 right now (8pm BST). One Direction’s single hit #1 on iTunes in just a couple of hours after the release, so I wonder what’s up with this one. Matt’s music video was released on September 5th and has only 700K views on Vevo so far.

NEXT WEEK: Katy Perry and boyband The Wanted perform. I bet The Wanted moved the release of their single two weeks forward because of this performance slot. Maybe Syco arranged this to remove the competition for Cher Lloyd’s single.
