Ever get a feeling of déjà vu while you're watching The X Factor? That's because after 11 series and hundreds of contestants, the live shows have seen a whopping 728 tracks performed so far. But like a wedding DJ reaching for his failsafe party anthems CD, the top five most popular songs have been dusted off and rolled out over 33 times between them.
Our geeky rules state that we're counting all live show performances and group songs, but not repeat performances from the same act in the same series.
=5. 'Feeling Good': 6 performances
Performed by: Beverley Trotman, Rachel Hylton, Stacey Solomon, James Arthur, Rebecca Ferguson, Andrea Faustini
Made famous by Nina Simone, this classic usually pops up in the traditional 'Big Band Week', and is a good excuse for an act to show off their sultry side. Stacey had a go with Michael Bublé in 2009, while Andrea tried out a more powerhouse version last year.

1. The world of Twitter watching The X Factor had another career in mind for Lauren after an audience-panned performance:
Lauren's got a West End career coming. She's not interesting enough to be a pop star #xfactor

Lauren's performance is still boring even with fast music and her trying to dance #xfactor

We're not quite sure we're ready for this. We've only just recovered from Helen Wood's Big Brother win, but that's old news now - because 14 famous faces made their way into the Celebrity Big Brother house tonight! But who are they? Read on for everything you need to know about the bungalow's brand new residents...
Angelique 'Frenchy' Morgan
So who is she? Angelique is a model, exotic dancer and, er, 'adult film star'.
What do I need to know? Angelique is nicknamed Frenchy, presumably because she was raised in Paris. She's probably the star who'll get the most 'who?' comments, but if you want to know your stuff, she landed appearances on the Howard Stern Show after being on Playboy TV. Since then, she's been on reality shows Rock of Love, Charm School and I Love Money - oh, and some of you might be pretending you...

Mobo award winning singer Beverley Knight has hit out at ITV’s X Factor and it’s ‘puppet master’ Simon Cowell.
After winning a spot on the Birmingham Walk Of Stars the ‘Shoulda Woulda Coulda’ singer told Metro:
‘The thing is with The X Factor is that it throws up people like Leona (Lewis) and Alexandra (Burke) who were always going to do well, but it also gives you Jedward.’
When asked how she act if she were a judge on the hit TV talent show, Knight said she’d want to give them ‘real music advice, ‘not “TV” advice like Simon Cowell the grand puppet master.’
She added: ‘I couldn’t sit next to Cheryl Cole and hear her tell someone how great they are, while I’m sat there thinking, “No you’re not”.’
