Demand has spoken, and thanks to Fleur East’s spectacular X Factor cover of Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars’ Uptown Funk over the weekend, Ronson’s record label have brought the release of the track forward by five weeks.

All eyes historically have been on The X Factor winner to reign supreme in the coveted position, however with Uptown Funk causing quite the stir, we’re ready to put money on Ronson and Mars being the surprising recipient of the accolade; however we want to know what our readers think. Are you going to buy The X Factor’s winning single, or perhaps one of the others in the race?
