Flawless Victory: Topped the voting in all but the first week of the competition, giving him the show's joint-best ever voting record (along with Leona Lewis, who supposedly topped the voting in all but the second week of her series).
The Runner-Up Takes It All: Not to the same extent as the act who finished above her, but she's had significantly more success than Matt Cardle.
Shocking Elimination: Narrowly averted. One week, Cher had the least votes from the public, but the judges decided to eliminate Paije instead.
Suspiciously Similar Song: At boot camp, Cher claimed she wrote a rap verse for "Viva La Vida," but it was later discovered that they were taken from a song by Swizz Beatz.
The Runner-Up Takes It All: The Trope Codifier. Not only are they by far the most successful act to come out of Series 7, but at this point, they are the franchise's most successful act — ever.
Shocking Elimination: Narrowly averted. One week, Cher had the least votes from the public, but the judges decided to eliminate Paije instead.
