Almost the biggest flop, but not quite was 2007 X Factor winner Leon. The Scottish singer shot to No 1 with his first single 'When You Believe', followed by a No 3 spot for 'Don't Call This Love', but his third effort 'Creative' bombed at No 94 and record label Sony BMG dropped him in 2009.

Like the others he is hoping it is second time lucky as he plans to release a second album in 2010, despite not having backing from another record company as yet.
