James has a 20% lead at the moment. Could sell 1 million copies in the next two weeks.:D:cool:
King Arthur already impaling records, parleying with legends. Not since Alexandra The Great has a leader achieved such lofty heights. When Damp Side Of The Room drops in 2013, helmets will roll. And lo, he hath cometh!
Well done to James, but I'm really hoping he lets loose next week and lets Will & Brit finally have the #1 WIth both versions of S&S combined James has around a 10% lead atm.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not Rombod, but I love your posts. More please.:D
I think he appeals to quite a wide demographic, he has both young and older fans, which helps.
Gosh and I thought he sold because Syco had I Tunes on redial. How some would hate it if Matt outsold him, when X Factor winner. Ooops, I should not be so cynical. It might just be pure talent that is the reason behind the sales together with his engaging personality..
He may have lost out on the 2012 Christmas Number 1 to the Justice Collective’s He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother, but today X Factor winner James Arthur returns to the top of the Official Singles Chart with Impossible.
Arthur’s track has sold a further 184,000 copies over the last seven days, which brings Impossible’s total sales tally to a staggering 897,000 copies. In just three weeks the 24-year-old from Middlesbrough has now overtaken the lifetime sales of Leona Lewis’ A Moment Like This to become the fourth biggest selling debut single by an X Factor artist. He is currently behind 2008 winner Alexandra Burke’s Hallelujah (1.2 million), 2005 winner Shayne Ward’s That’s My Goal (1.1 million) and 2010 winner Matt Cardle’s When We Collide (1 million)
Impossible, which became the fastest selling single of 2012 earlier this month, has also overtaken the likes of Jessie J’s Domino, Nicki Minaj’s Starships and international YouTube sensation Psy’s Gagnam Style to become the fifth biggest selling single of 2012 so far.

Clearly there are a large number of people needing to consult an audiologist in the new year!!!
And it seams a many few people need to get some beers down them and chill. After all its almost New years eve and the bitter look aint a good look at this time of year.

Bitter - I think you know me not to make personal comments..
It just amazes me that so many people are prepared to part with their money to buy an average remake of a song that has already been a substantial hit for someone else.At Least the proceeds are going to charity.

Probably because, and here comes the big shocker...music tastes are subjective! And people actually like James' song/voice/version!
Just goes to show why it should have been Xmas #1 but at least it makes up for what seemed to be a mediocre series. Here's hoping James goes on to have a successful career.

LOL how ironic as it was you who seams to think you knew a lot of people in the first place by suggesting they needed to see an audiologist in the new year!
But hey dont let that little fact get in the way of you begrudging a charity single doing well for people who are in need.

Well done James and commiserations to them who wished a charity single did crap.

Will Young is the only person that has managed to do it faster by selling 1 million copies in 1 week.:cool:
Hope he can reach 900K this week.
He'll likely hit it within the week.
