It may have been the least watched series, But The Official Charts Company have reported that his debut single, Impossible, has had “the most explosive start of any X Factor winner in history” as it has sold faster than any before it.

It is for charity

[Marcus.]

It is for charity

yeah good point

[Glenn.]

I actually brought it on iTunes. I never buy music.

[Brother Leon]

Great news. Looks like he might sell more than double what the last one done.


Hopefully he isn't made to wait a year to release a proper single.

same here

[bbfan1991]

Awesome:thumbs:.

[Z]

I don't think people actually buy songs just because they represent a charity though, do they? I know I never have. If I like a song, I'll buy it. Good for James!

[Glenn.]

I brought it because I liked it. And I thought it is for charity so why not.

I normally rip them from YouTube or I torrent them.

It's soaking up the charity single's sales

[Marcus.]

yeah it is

[Black Dagger]

LMAO at people saying he's only selling because it's a charity single :rolleyes:

[MeMyselfAndI]

Lmao, I think James is amazing, but that is a big factor

[bbfan1991]

Of course the song being for charity is a big factor, although the song itself is decent.

[Glenn.]

The charity is ultimately the reason I brought it. But it is amazing :love:

[Brother Leon]

Children In Need single didn't do too well. The X Factor charity single last year didn't do too well and that was with 1D on it. A charity single wont sell high just because it is a charity single lol. If you don't like it, you won't buy it :laugh:. The impact it being a charity single would be balanced with the fact the lowest viewers ever watched this season and the fact music sales in the whole are **** this year IMO :laugh:

[MeMyselfAndI]

This one was promoted for like 3 weeks about being a charity single, even my mother went to buy it because of all the promotion

[Marc]

Tbh I'd just donate to charity and not buy the single if I didn't like it. I'm really glad, he's one of my top 3 X factor contestants, ever

[Saph]

Its unfair on him that the money goes to charity...

[Josy]

His music is going to sell well, for charity or not.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Leonas final had less than 10.8m viewers, this final had 11m.

[King Gizzard]

Best winners single by a mile, that's why

my sister hates the show with a passion yet she's bought it

[MeMyselfAndI]

It's a very good winner single, but it's not the best

[King Gizzard]

Well yes that's why people have different opinions

[Kazanne]

He doesn't appeal to me or his music,but well done to him.

[Mystic Mock]

He deserves it, a great song and brilliant singing off him in the song.

[Vicky.]

IMO its the best winners single we have had yet. Closely followed by Shayne Ward.

[Maia]

I bought it as well and I rarely buy X Factor winner singles :laugh:

[Jordan.]

I'm already bored of it, it's not that great.

[Niamh.]

I still haven't even heard it

[Marc]

Niamh :nono:

[Niamh.]

Well I can't listen to it now, I'm at work, don't be absurd Marc :idc:

[Marc]

Oh I'm so sorry, I forgot that you actually do 'work' :idc:

[MusicXian]

Great single and he was awesome in the whole series. Power of Love and Hometown Glory my fave.

[Me. I Am Salman]

I'm already bored of it, it's not that great.

Better than Cannonball and The Climb at least

[Benjamin]

Hmmm, his cover isn't that bad, but it's not overly memorable either. As winners singles go though, I agree it one of the better ones.

[Mystic Mock]

Great single and he was awesome in the whole series. Power of Love and Hometown Glory my fave.

Those two songs that you've mentioned are very good, and he did do them great aswell, I also think Power Of Love was his winning moment.

[Marc]

PoL :worship:

[Jordan.]

Better than Cannonball and The Climb at least

Not Cannonball :nono:
