X FACTOR: Celebrity star Megan already has a hit on her hands - with her original song "This" climbing to No.2 on the iTunes chart.
While controversy raged about Simon Cowell's slating of her fluff-fringed outfit, which he said reminded everyone she was a "reality star", the track has quietly picked up sales.
He told her: "Love the song, hate the outfit. Megan I'll tell you why I said that, this isn't whatever the Essex thing is.

Megan performed a self-written song about her late grandad Roy on Saturday night's Celebrity X Factor (Nov 2).

iTunes Chart Performance & Sales for “This”

The No.1 on the Official UK Singles chart Tones & I with "Dance Monkey" sold 9,633 copies, assuming Apple still grab 60% of the market that equals around 5,800 sales for the week (daily average of 800)
If the McKenna’s “This” recording was doing 56% of that then that's roughly 500 copies coming via iTunes assuming the figure still represents 24 hours.
