Does he not think the children's charity his single is supporting is worthy of our support then?
Very strange thing for him to say. |

This one.
http://www.shootingstarchase.org.uk/xfactorwinnersingle The Hillsborough single will be number 1, Arthur should be trying to shift a few more of his own though. |

well considering he's sold around 600,000 overall and the justice collective have sold around 100,000 I think he sort of has a right to help another charity single out

He is just trying to say it was his idea when it beats his arse.
Damage limitation. |

No, I don't like this. I'd much prefer a "buy both singles" due to them both being for charity.

Agree . damage limitation./ ego saving measure. Bet his own charity is pissed. That and the Matt Cardle stuff has vindicated my opinion of him .

Why didn't he mention it on Monday or straight after he got number one on Sunday? He's only said it after he knew that the single was way ahead of him in the charts!

I think it's interesting that he tweeted it bang smack in the middle of his Matt-related Twitter rant. Quite calculated, if you ask me.

As has been pointed out already, he wouldn't have tweeted it had it not been clear that it would be number 1 regardless. It's cheap yet effective PR and he was probably advised to do it.
The idea that Cowell, Syco and James Arthur would rather not have the Christmas No.1 is laughable. |

Every James Arthur page, you cant help but slate every single thing about him. We get it, you dislike him. If that is the case, why don't you restrain yourself from taking any interest in decent threads about him. Or is the jealousy too much for you to control. |

Reminds me of Cowell saying through gritted teeth last year that he was delighted the Military Wives had beaten Little Mix to the No.1.

Simon Cowell would have thought as the xfactor single is a charity one will help sales(which im pleased the charity is being helped out) but maybe thought the christmas number one is in the bag?, what a shock another charity single is beating them, i would love to know how many sales James would have actually got without it being a charity single..

It has sold 5 x more than the JC. It would have been an easy Christmas #1 if it had been released this week. If the X Factor wants its winners to top the christmas chart they need to move the final back by one week. I suspect that ITV will not let them do that. |
