On the other thread, I said the CD sold more than 100K just after 1 day sale. This is good news because it keeps the X/F crap from number 1

I guess it's off topic but I find the whole MW thing sentimental, cheesy and belittling of all the females in our armed forces.

I know it's for charity but I don't like the song...but it will be the biggest selling single of 2011 (first week sales)

Wherever You Are by The Military Wives (with Gareth Malone) already looks destined to claim 2011’s Christmas No.1 – and to become the UK's biggest-selling single for six years.
The Decca single sold 242,000 copies across Sunday and Monday, according to Official Chart Company data - more than X Factor winners Little Mix sold in the whole of last week. The last release to sell as many copies in its first two days was That’s My Goal, from 2005 X Factor winner Shayne Ward – which shifted 313,000 copies in 48 hours in December that year. Little Mix's Cannonball – widely seen as The Military Wives’ biggest competition for the Xmas No.1 spot - has sold just 38,000 copies across Monday and Tuesday, but is still the second-biggest seller so far this week. The Military Wives’ single is in aid of The Royal British Legion and the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen Families Association. It is performed by a choir made up of women whose partners are deployed in Afghanistan, who were brought together by Malone for the fourth series of BBC2’s The Choir. Head of Decca Classics Mike Bartlett told Music Week earlier this month that the label was hoping for first-week sales of half-a-million. "The Christmas No.1 should not be a forgone concusion and it's great this is capturing people's imaginations," he said. |

I am very happy that this is destined to be the Xmas no. 1. It is a beautiful song, appropriate for Christmas and I have to pause to listen to it whenever it comes on Radio 2. I might just buy it myself.
