Media retailer HMV have apologised today after a pre-order page for an Amelia Lily X Factor Winners single was posted.
The CD was listed on the website as ‘coming soon’ with the title ‘Amelia Lily X Factor 2011 Winner’s Single’.
It appears that HMV had been a little bit too pro-active and created ‘dummy’ pages for each X Factor finalist ready for Sunday’s final at Wembley Arena.
HMV spokesman Gennaro Castald said today in a statement:
“Hmv.com was looking to accept customer pre-orders for versions of the X Factor winner’s single recorded by each of the three finalists”
“Due to a technical issue, only Amelia Lily’s details were uploaded.”
“These have been temporarily removed so that all three finalists details can go up at the same time.”
“This has been the result of an unforeseen but regrettable technical issue, for which we apologise and ask that nothing further be construed.”
In light of these shocking events, we’d like to offer our help to the X Factor finalists by asking you to please click here to make Nirvana’s ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ this years Christmas No.1.
Thanks!
