Did Rak-Su win every week? The X Factor phone vote stats reveal who your favourites were every week
X FACTOR champions Rak-Su had the title in the bag from week four of the live shows after voting figures revealed their sheer popularity with the public.
The four-piece, placed in Simon Cowell's Group's category, battled it out with Grace Davies in Sunday's intense final - and the same can be said for pretty much every episode.
Broadcaster ITV has released the statistics detailing just who viewers backed after each themed live show.
The lively lads - Myles Stephenson, Jamaal Shurland, Ashley Fongho and Mustafa Rahimtulla - dominated the statistics from week four to the glitzy finale, which was watched by 7million.
They won 51.7% of the vote after belting out two of their own songs, ahead of runner-up Grace on 40.1%, and third-placed Kevin- who was axed after the first part of the final on Saturday night - with 8.2%.
In the opening show, however, Sharon Osbourne's pink-haired vocalist came out trumps on the Prize Fight, bagging 53.5% of votes compared to the rap act's 46.5%.
They came back fighting in the second show from Wembley, bagging 32.2% of public favour.
It marked the start of a slip for Grace, who often sung her own tracks on the tea-time talent show.
She was beaten by Kevin Davy White 21.9% to her 18.5% and Welsh singer Lloyd Macey the next week.
Her rich run of form returned come week four, as she clocked up 26.1% percent and dominated the runner-up slot from then on.
Music mogul Simon has already predicted the band could be as big as One Direction, after the numbers showed they dominated the competition.
All that public adoration translated into real-life shows of affection for the Rak-Su champions, who exclusively revealed to The Sun they had been inundated with "love notes"; since their win.
Yet - breaking the hearts of many - they told us they were simply too busy for love.

Ashley told The Sun: “We’ve had a lot of female interest since we went on X Factor. We’ve had messages on social media but we haven’t been responding.
“While you’re on the show it just isn’t possible, and now we’ve got to focus on our music.”
As part of their win, they will release their own original song, Dimelo, which they performed as a duet on Saturday night with Wyclef Jean and Naughty Boy.
This is the first time a champion has released their winner’s single as a duet.
All proceeds from the song will be donated to children’s charities, Together for Short Lives and Shooting Star Chase.
