The Beatles Night on X Factor

The Fab Four are about to see some of their biggest hits murdered on live television by the cast of the X Factor!!

Cher Lloyd, Katie Waissel, Matt Cardle, One Direction and company will be taking on John, Paul, George and Ringo on the famous Fountain Studios stage in Wembley to prove that they can sing some of the best songs ever written to a passable (or possibly below) standard.

Lets hope Harry Styles from One Direction at least gets briefed to say something funny along the lines of, 'I'd like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves and I hope we've passed the audition … sadly, they won't.

Of course, the live versions will as always be available for download via iTunes, but as is usually the case with these affairs, the original tracks are sure to get a big boost too. At present The Beatles are already making significant inroads into the UK charts. Hey Jude is at 25 in the iTunes chart, with Twist and Shout and Let it Be also rising fast in the Top 40.

In the iTunes rock chart The Beatles are currently occupying 33 of the top 40 positions, only currently held off number one by Pink. The top 10 albums are also dominated by The Beatles, with seven of the top ten titles from the Fab Four's back catalogue.
