Default Shayne sells 300,000

Quote:
The X Factor winner Shayne Ward is heading for the Christmas number one spot after opening day sales passed the 313,000 mark.
By comparison last year's Christmas winner Band Aid sold 72,000 copies on day one.

Ward beat thousands of hopefuls to win the ITV talent show on Saturday.
But his single failed to take the record for the fastest-selling single of all time. That record is held by Sir Elton John for Candle in the Wind.

The song, which was released following the death of Diana Princess of Wales in 1997, sold more than 685,000 copies in one day.

Ward also failed to match the achievements of fellow talent show winner Will Young, who won Pop Idol in 2002.

His debut single, Evergreen, sold more than 400,000 copies on day one.

Ward's rivals for the coveted number one spot include Westlife featuring soul legend Diana Ross and The JCB song by folk unknowns Nizlopi.

But he is virtually certain of the top spot after selling 250,000 singles over the counter and the rest as downloads.

Gennaro Castaldo of retailer HMV said: "Day one sales of Shayne Ward's That's My Goal at HMV stores and other retailers are truly astounding and nothing short of incredible."

The Christmas chart will be revealed on Sunday.

William Hill has closed the book on the Christmas number one with Shayne's odds at 100/1 on.

Spokesman Rupert Adams said: "Even the biggest bands can't take on the X Factor winner. "This is our worst results on Christmas number one ever. We just have to hope it doesn't snow on Christmas Day to add to our woes."

well what do you expect, at Christmas people are buying other presents not just Shaynes record, so money will be tight, meaning that of course he wont sell as many records as Will Yound did, because he won in February if I remember rightly, when spending has calmed down a bit and people have just a tad more money around.
I think that over 313,000 copies sold on the 1st day is very respectable, the media always try and bring people down

It was inevitable that he would sell tons of records - he could almost have released 3 minutes of silence and people would have bought it. To be honest, whoever had won the competition would have had a huge hit with the single. The real test will be how he does with his follow ups.

Yeh but saying that Katie, there are loads of talented singers that dont have the staying power. You need good songs constanly to stay in. If you bring a bad song out, people wont buy it, and eventully they will get bored of you.

He's a nice singer, but he's not special. You want good music? *mutters about Stevie Ray Vaughn*
