It's official! X Factor runner-up Fleur East has bagged herself a US recording contract along with some major television performances across the Atlantic. 

The singer will launch her bid for international superstardom with a performance of 'Sax' on the season finale ofDancing with the Stars next week. 

East has secured a deal with Sony Music's Columbia Records to put out her music in America, following chart success in Mexico, The Netherlands, Costa Rica and Eastern Europe. 

The music video for 'Sax' has already topped 30 million views on YouTube and is continuing to grow. 

The 28-year-old will then play further high-profile programmes including The Late Late Show with James Corden and The Today Show. 

Fleur East follows in the footsteps of previous X Factor stars One Direction, Leona Lewis and Little Mix by breaking through into the US market. 

She actually finished second on The X Factor back in 2014 behind winner Ben Haenow, who was dropped by Simon Cowell earlier this year after just one self-titled album. 

But fear not, UK fans: Fleur East hasn't forgotten you. 

The singer will return to this side of the Atlantic soon for a series of summer gigs - as well as a new single.

I'm super excited for this, but I feel like her management had no idea what to do with her after 'Sax'. Her second single was barely promoted and flopped even in England so Idk what they're gonna do with her in America.  Good luck to her tho!

But what happened to 'More and More'? Did they even release a music video?

I wasn't even aware she had another single out and it's unfortunate.

Well Spanish Music is a given but other than that pop, Britney, Gaga, Rihanna, the girl from Disney Channel, Fifth Harmony, Ariana, Demi, Justin etc etc. Weirdly enough Beyoncé is not so much lol

I know, it's such a shame the promo for her album was so messy. She really had potential! They should have at least released 'Sax' in the US, she could have at least been a one hit wonder.

Her album is really strong.... SAX had a massive push.... being teased. But I agree the promo was horrifically messy.

It's a real shame as her album is pretty darn good. Gold Watch being my personal fav but the album is one of the best debuts from an XFactor artist in a while

Sax is like really old now tho right....

'Gold Watch' was fun too, but I think my favourite was 'Breakfast'! That song was so fun, it's a shame it never even got the music video it should have had.  I'm hoping she somehow gets a second album out someday!
