Harris's single features vocals from James Arthur, another X Factor winner

Dalton Harris, the latest winner of The X Factor, has entered the UK singles chart at number four with his debut record, a cover of Frankie Goes To Hollywood's The Power of Love.

That's two places lower than 2017 winners Rak-Su managed this time last year with their first single, Dimelo.

No X Factor winner's single has gone to number one since Ben Haenow's in 2014.

Ariana Grande - fresh from receiving two Grammy nominations - remains the UK's number one with Thank U, Next.

An average of 5.3 million people tuned in to the X Factor final on Sunday to see Jamaican-born Harris beat fellow finalists Anthony Russell and Scarlett Lee.

Harris's cover of Frankie Goes to Hollywood's 1984 chart-topper features vocals from James Arthur, who won the ITV talent show in 2012.

Harris, 24, is now a double talent show winner, having won the show's Jamaican equivalent in 2010.
