Rhydian Roberts has spoken out about the possibility of going head to head with his X afctor mentor in the album charts.

If the opera singer wins the show, he will be releasing an album next year, Dannii has also announced her intention to release an album in 2008.

Rhydian told the Daily Star:

“It would be weird going against her and pretty embarrassing if I finished above her!”

Considering how badly Dannii’s recent single is performing, I don’t think that Rhydian has much to worry about. It is weird though that she has had as much exposure as any of the X Factor contestants, yet while the winner of this show will most likely go on to at least one number one single and album, Dannii can’t even make it into the top 40.
