His single Cannonball was picked as the winner's song for the The X Factor in its eighth series and was released by winners Little Mix in December , topping the British singles chart in the first week of release.
Adverts I have control over, nobody can use a song without asking permission," he says. X Factor can cover whatever they want.
That's the part that's a little disappointing. People think you've cut some deal for money, I haven't seen any lump sum of money from that thing at all. There's not as much money in these things as people make out. Rice's response to the Little Mix release was to give away a substantial amount of money. I have no interest in that. And while the likes of U2 may be able to afford to give away their music for free , Rice says he's unlikely to make anything from his latest release. I spent a lot of time recording, carving and crafting, a lot of musicians, it's a very layered and wide record Third place runner-up Amelia Lily also pre-recorded her version in the studio.
This is because of the very high sales which other songs received, in spite of the fact that Steve Brookstein 's winners song only sold half Little Mix's sales and was 's 30th highest seller.

Rice has a long history of choosing art over money, leaving his band Juniper later to become Bell X1 in upon them signing a six-album deal with Polygram as he was "dismayed by the commercial path the company wanted the band to take".
The band is well appreciated mainly because of their extraordinary guitar playing and their complex songwriting in which they combine both rock and metal elements in a very unique way. Over the years they developed a convincing and professional live performance and are in the position to look back to over live shows all across Europe. Cannonball Ride is definitely climbing up the ladder with this statement and prove themselves constantly evolving.
