X Factor's Magazine Prints Last Issue

It has been confirmed that The X Factor's spinoff magazine X will publish its final issue this week.

The weekly magazine launched in September covering backstage news and interviews relating to the show and other music industry, fashion and showbiz gossip.

X had been scheduled as a year-round publication but poor sales at point of purchase and low subscriptions are believed to be the reason for the early closure after 14 weeks.

A message posted on X's official Twitter yesterday read: "The final issue of X Mag is out on Weds. Thanks to all who worked with us and to everyone who wrote/tweeted/emailed - it's been brilliant. x"

X's senior editor Peter Robinson wrote on the Popjustice forums: "Thanks to everyone who bought the magazine and in some cases enjoyed it enough to subscribe."
