Oh wow ,great news,the boy done good,I was wondering if he would make it this week,

Not that it's a great feat this time of year. There's been no serious challengers for him yet and he'll crumple as soon as there's competition. It's the promotion that's got him where he is rather then on any true merit.

no one can tell how good or bad he'll do till we hear what comes after the winners song, Mr. Rain Cloud of Doom

More importantly, Olly Murs - Thinking Of Me climbs back into the top 10.

Hows he doing in the Irish chart? Maybe you should start supporting some proper music

[red]

and he's got the second best-selling single of 2010 whoooop!!

Meanwhile, Eminem and Rihanna had the year's with their duet Love The Way You Lie.

That song sold 854,000 copies, narrowly beating X Factor winner Matt Cardle's debut single When We Collide, with sales of 815,000.

Bruno Mars was in third place with Just The Way You Are (Amazing), which sold 766,000 copies.

In this week's charts, Cardle stayed top of the singles rundown while Take That were pushed into second place on the album chart by Rihanna's Loud.

Not worried about anything. Good luck with the second single

[Kazanne]

Well done to Matt for taking a little known song and turning it into one of the best selling singles of 2010.

Anyone could have done it, It's about promotion rather then his own talent.

So why didn't Biffy Clyro do it then?

A multitude of reasons, they didn't launch the song in front of 15 million people for a start or have to rely on said show for success. They're also focused on albums rather then singles so it didn't get much promotion, finally they released in a normal week with actual competition and despite not having a typical mainstream Singles chart sound they still managed Top 20.

Matt launched from the X Factor into a vacant few weeks with few new releases and only a few fragmented Anti X factor Campaigns. There's a world of difference my dear. Matt would have been steamrolled without the promotion or release slot.

I'm not I'm just stating that Matt's success is down to circumstance rather then his cover being good musically.

It was on the map before, it's just that the ignorant masses weren't as aware of it.

as much as I like Matts voice, I have to agree with this, his real test will be what comes after this song but I for one hope he's a success

[Novo]

Bobby V will be taking care of that soon
