"Sir Cliff Richard has claimed that new artists may not get the right level of support needed in the music industry. Speaking to The Wireless radio station, the 73-year-old expressed a degree of concern for new singers and young groups entering the market.  &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t think the new groups and young singers have the same support system,&amp;quot; Richard revealed. &amp;quot;Today you can have a number one, [but] if your next record&amp;#039;s not number one sometimes they won&amp;#039;t re-sign.  &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s because they don&amp;#039;t have the same faith in the artists that my producer and manager, Norrie Paramour and Peter Gormley, had.&amp;quot; However, the singer - who recently released his 100th album - praised the quality of upcoming musicians in recent years and highlighted that even those who have not won The X Factor still get a chance at a music career. &amp;quot;When you think about it, even the losers on X Factor are good. I mean, they&amp;#039;re really good singers these days,&amp;quot; he explained &amp;quot;When you think of One Direction, five of them, they all lost. None of them won X Factor and they&amp;#039;re the biggest boyband in the world at the moment.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
