Music manager Simon Cowell is considering launching legal proceedings against iTunes - after fans were prevented from downloading one of his top client's singles.

Massive demand for British X Factor winner Leon Jackson's debut single caused the music firm's servers to crash shortly after it went on sale on Saturday (16Dec07).

As a result thousands of fans were unable to purchase the single, When You Believe, which logged a disappointing 36,669 sales in three days - and record label bosses are reportedly fuming.

An insider at the Cowell-owned SonyBMG tells British newspaper The Sun, 

"Everybody here is up in arms.

"There's been a monumental cock up. Simon is hugely disappointed about the situation and is considering launching legal proceedings.

"Everybody is really upset for Leon and don't want technical malfunctions to mar his big week."

A spokesperson for iTunes declined to comment.
