American Idol winners can’t hold a candle to December 2006 The X Factor winner Leona Lewis. The UK artist is selling more records than some of her American Idol counterparts combined.

Her debut single was downloaded 50,000 times in just 30 minutes, making her the fastest-selling female artist ever. Her debut album, Spirit, is outselling the Spice Girls’ Greatest Hits album by four to one, making it a certified 5x platinum in the UK.
