Britain’s exciting The X Factory took the win in 2016 Matt Terry directly Saara Aalton in front of the nose.
Right after the win, Terry recorded a Christmas song, by Ed Sheeran a charity piece written by him When Christmas Comes Aroundwhich would make iTunes number one.
Somewhat surprisingly, Terry signed a recording contract with Sony RCA soon after his win, and by no means Simon Cowell’swith the show’s creator, record company.
The table was set, if not for the conquest of the world, then at least for the conquest of Britain.
But that’s not exactly how it happened, not even there.
This is what Matt Terry looked like during his time on The X Factor. PDO
In 2017, he released the first single from his debut album. Sucker for You reached only number 51 in the UK singles chart.
The debut album Trouble was released later that year. It fared worse than any other X Factor winner’s record, struggling to reach number 29 in the UK charts the week of its release.
– The X Factor has changed. It’s not the same springboard as it used to be, so I think it’s unfair to say that my album hasn’t done well. Nowadays, winning the X Factor doesn’t lead straight to the top. Nowadays, when you win the X Factor, you have to start from scratch. I’m a new artist, and things take time, Terry commented In an interview with Voice in 2018 shortly after his debut album.
Since then, almost nothing has happened and Terry has not released any new music. RCA gave Terry the boot, to put it bluntly, in 2018. Terry was completely left without a recording contract, but he was not startled by this. Britti set his eyes in the direction of the theater world and soon got hooked on musicals Madagascar – The Musical.
