After watching their X Factor performance of You Got It All it seems a lot more people are paying attention to them. Reckon it'll get number one on Sunday? I think it not they are close to being dropped

    Seeing as there are comfirtable at #1 on itunes i fully expect them to be number 1 and i actually do think they deserve it

    I think they are ok. But lack their own musical identity and neither of the members really stand on their own or are memorable in their own individual way.

    I wasn't/am not really a fan of Union J, but this is a lovely song. I've had it stuck in my head for days!

    Ooh, I don't know....JJ's a really nice looking lad - even if I'm old enough to be his mother probably.:D

    I think the X Factor performance showed that they can actually sing and I was pretty impressed even though I'm not a fan.

    Im not sure if it'll end up at number 1 but i do think it will certainly be in the top 5 by Sunday. Ive always quite liked them even though im normally very anti-boy band. I did buy thier 1st album and really liked it.

    Surprised by the success of this, as I thought the song was pretty forgettable and this time of year is harder to get no1 with the higher sales and everyone having a song/album out.

    I feel sorry for them. If they had came along before One Direction, then they would have got all of Simon Cowell's attention. They are so much better than One Direction and come across really well. They can all sing too. Their weakest link vocally is JJ...but he's still better than One Direction's weakest link...Louis. The issue with Union J is the music...if they could just get that sorted out then they'd be so, so good. They have so much potential, it's just the music that's an issue...that and the fact that Simon pumps all his money into promoting One Direction instead. As far as I know, Union J are signed to Sony, which is affiliated with Syco.

    Not that it's reliable at all, but the office I work in at work is full of Union J stuff as prezzies for my colleagues little ones, apparently OD are old school with their children, that's only 4 kids, and two different families, but I found it quite interesting as UJ haven't done much to get on peoples radar. It' really nice seeing this doing well, I hope it's a sign of things to come and not just a blip. Does anyone know how the album is doing on pre-order? Would like to see them stand the test of time, they have potential but rarely seem to live up to it.

    I'm pleased to see this doing well especially as this seems to be last chance saloon for them, there material up to now has been pretty shocking and not very deserved of success but this is ok and I hope they make it as they seem just as talented as 1d, the wanted etc

    I wasn't sure union J were as popular as Captial kept telling me they were but maybe they actually are

    Agree with the comments saying how surprisingly well the song is doing but I guess that's X Factor exposure for you

    They were pretty good to be fair to them
