The top debut of the week belongs to former X Factor contestant Nathaniel, with the sixth-place finisher coming in at #9 with his first post-show single, "You", my "Aussie pick of the Week"...

The under-25 female contestant on the X Factor that was knocked out of the competition this week was Jiordan Tolli, but her rendition of Lorde's "Royals" still was the third-biggest of the show's entries at #81 (this wasn't the song that sunk her)...

British blue-eyes soul singer John Newman arrives at #87 with his amazing workout of "Cheating"...

The last of the X Factor songs to make the top-100 is by Jai Waetford, with his take on Keane's "Somewhere Only We Know" at #95 (the sixth contestant, Omar Dean, didn't make the list, and unsurpsiringly was cut from that week's top-6)...

That's it for this week's new crop...I'll be back tomorrow with another Song of the Day, as well as my 70s and 80s throwbacks...g'nite!
