Burke's 'Hallelujah' tops million mark

Alexandra Burke has sold over a million copies of her debut single 'Hallelujah'.

The X Factor winner is the first British female solo artist to top one million sales with a single.

The singer's debut is now likely to become the best-selling single by a female of any nationality this decade, overtaking the current record by Kylie Minogue, who shifted 1.05 million copies of her 2001 single 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head'.

The Leonard Cohen cover was previously named the biggest-selling single of 2008 and became the fastest-selling download ever.

Burke is currently holidaying with fellow X Factor star Ruth Lorenzo in Mauritius.
