'Amazing first week for the album we are 35,000 ahead of number 3 and close behind Eminem with 70,000 sales which is incredible!!'
So, comparing to other X Factor debuts...pretty average?
Not really he's sold more than Little Mix's first week Album I'm pretty sure he's sold more than Matt Cardle Joe Mccelderry and Leon Jackson first week album sales as well . Not sure about Shayne's first album though .
He has made so many appearances on TV lately, I seem to have spent all my time switching off or switching over.
Can't stand to either listen to him or look at him. He makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up - and not in a good way. :eek:

That's actually quite good it's sold more that Little Mix's first week album sales for there First Album. I'm sure it will sell more when he eventually performs on the show as well.

Matt sold 70,896 in his first week and was also #2 to Noel Gallagher.

No, I wouldn't. I thought he was a worthy winner last year but sadly, it turns out he is such an unpleasant, arrogant person. I don't really care if his music is incredible, I won't be spending any of my money on it. I won't feel like I've lost out just because I've not got his album.

I expect his focus is on beating Matt. Obviously he has no chance of beating the 'f****ing' boyband. Bless.
Oh for the days when pop stars used to behave like complete arrogant arseholes, shag any number of groupies, abuse drugs beyond reason, wreck hotel rooms and other mindless violence and all manner of other unsavoury stuff and we knew nothing about it!
I like his music, but there is no way I would pay a cent for his music, its shocking how much of a stuck up p***k he has become since he won the xfactor, for someone who had nothing before he started he really didn't spare anytime letting the fame get to his head

Some of the stuff in the seventies would have made the people here faint in horror, I suspect.
If he was smashing his guitar to pieces or trashing hotel rooms, or doing drink/drugs etc I wouldn't give a toss; but his personal attacks and arrogance towards people who used the same platform to launch their careers as he did - that I just find off-putting. The Union J tweets I find particularly bad, simply because they were his friends (or so they thought).

I hate the way this forum works sometimes. James Arthur has created one of the best debut X Factor winner albums ever, behind Leona and potentially Alexendra. This is an XF forum and we are all XF fans (most of us anyway) we should be supporting our winners

That is the point - you knew nothing about it. I suspect some still do but don't make a point of posting it on a public network, which is fair enough.
As for James Arthur - I wouldn't buy his album. His voice is irritating and dreary and if the rest is like the poor first single (and sung in his dreary monotone) - heaven help us.
Absolutely not. I've heard very little of his singing or his material but even if I liked it I just couldn't support someone like him. He needs a massive serving of humility.

Me too.
The sales figures won't be out until tomorrow but Friday's update on Buzzjack had Eminem on 110k, so he will be even higher by the close of sales.
If JA has sold 70k, Eminem's will probably be around 140k. That's not "close behind".
He tweeted he was "thousands ahead" in the midweeks. That wasn't true either.
Frankie Boyle and James Arthur are made for each - both pretty vile. although I do laugh at some of Frankie's less offensive jokes.

I did snigger at all the outrage on these forums - highly entertaining.

Musicians insulting each other is nothing new either, see this article 30 Harshest Musician On Musician Insults In History.
I don't understand why is required to be polite about other people who have been on the X Factor.
Great post.:D:cool:
What an untalented miserable little bellend he is. Loath him.

That lot make JA look like the rank amateur that he is. :eek::D
