Though having yet to release a debut album following her winning "The X Factor", Alexandra Burke has claimed an instant fame through single "Hallelujah". With the Leonard Cohen's track, she has been standing firm at number one on U.K. Singles chart for three weeks in a row, beating down Leona Lewis' "Run" and Lady GaGa's "Just Dance".
Regardless the fact that the song is a cover version, "Hallelujah" has raked more than 888,000 copies to date since going on sale at midnight on Saturday, December 13 after "The X Factor" TV Final. With such a huge selling point, the track, made famous by Leonard in his 1984 seventh studio LP "Various Positions", becomes the fastest-selling single ever by a female artist across Europe.
For her debut studio album, Alexandra, meanwhile, has reportedly worked with Ben Adams, the former member of boyband A1. In support of her upcoming yet-titled LP, she has launched an official site where fans can log on to order the record.
In the meantime, Alexandra has premiered a music videor for "Hallelujah". She will also be on a roadshow for "X Factor Live Tour". Along with other 2008 "The X Factor" participants, she will be performing at Aberdeen Exhibition Centre on February 22, 2009. Details on the upcoming tour can be found on her official site.

You have a great talent but as you know you have to get the right song and it does not matter who writes it but you must be sure it fits well with your style. You have a powerful voice and a great personality. You did not give up 3 years ago so all the luck in the world for the future and believe in yourself.
Wow! Working with boyband A1. She's really going places.
