Default James Arthur has fastest-selling winner’s single
http://music.uk.msn.com/features/x-f...%80%99s-single

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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 . 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

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
