More to the point - what happened to George Michael? Towards the end of the week it looked like Will probably would beat him, but then he only managed number 7!
Ananova says Gareth sold 900,000 singles, which still breaks loads of records. Fastest selling record by a teenager, as well as youngest UK male artist with number one etc. And Britney saying he's cute! He won't be complaining about that.
What's more impressive is that normally they release 2 copies of a single so the really keen fans buy both, and the big releases tend to be heavily discounted to improve sales. Will and Gareth only had one version and there was no discounting. However, it'll be interesting to see what happens with the 2nd singles and albums to see what happens without the push of a tv series/prime time special or high profile tour.
PI Big Band album first! I heard Zoe is releasing a single from that. Be Happy and I've got you under my skin. It's a double-A side because her fans are supposed to be either quite old, or very young. The older fans like I've got you under my skin, and the youngsters like Be Happy. I must be a youngster.
