I'm not sure how many singles Gareth sold this week, but it was less than 1 million.
I was just listening to Dr Fox on the Pepsi chart and when he interviewed Gareth just before he played Unchained Melody he said Gareth had the second highest selling debut single of all time, and that by next week he was sure that it would go over the million sales.
After all that hype Gareth still didn't manage to sell as many singles as Will. If it was at any other time the amount he has sold would have seemed phenomenal, but for the second time he just couldn't beat Will.
They have both got good voices but I still think that Will is just that little bit more special. I hope they both go on to do brilliantly well, but I still have a feeling that we will be hearing from Mr Young for a lot longer than Mr Gates.
