Great news for The X Factor South Africa fans is that iTunes
will be making all of the songs performed by contestants during the live gala
shows on SABC 1 available for download, starting this week. This ground
breaking initiative for X Factor SA marks the first of its kind in South
Africa, where recordings of the songs performed during the LIVE gala shows will
be made available for distribution through iTunes during the live broadcast.
SABC TV head of Publicity, Zandile Nkonyeni says, “We believe in supporting
talented artists and cultivating South African musicians. SABC 1 is proud that
this format, The X Factor South Africa, is growing and reaching outlets like
iTunes. It is another step in which the SABC and the show have taken to bring
another first to our viewers. After auditioning thousands of hopefuls around
the country and narrowing down the field to the nine top solo singers and
groups, The X Factor SA, broadcast on SABC1 on Saturdays at 17:30, has now hit
warp speed as the live shows bring an extra dimension of competitiveness and
excitement to the singing competition. South African television audiences will
begin casting their votes for their favourite acts, who will hear their fate
during the live results shows on Saturdays at 19:30 on SABC1. This
nerve-wracking process of elimination will culminate in the crowning of the
first ever X Factor SA winner on Saturday 13 December 2014. “iTunes and The X
Factor have worked closely together in other international markets in the past,
and we are excited about extending the same benefit to South Africans,” said
Paul Thackwray, Marketing Director of Sony Music Entertainment Africa, which is
sponsoring a recording contract for the winner. Between now and December, the
finalists will be performing in the region of 60 songs during the live
televised shows. Starting on Saturday 25 October 2014, all of these tracks will
be available for download on iTunes, starting from the evening on which each
number is performed. The songs will be available for the duration of the
competition. Simply visit the South African iTunes store, where all the songs
will be available in a dedicated X Factor South Africa section. Fans can also
check out The X Factor SA website, Facebook page or Twitter account to find out
how to support SA’s latest stars-in-waiting by downloading their powerhouse
performances. The cost per track is R5.99.
