Good for him.
No idea if it's the song, the fact that it's a charity single, or the fact that it's him, or the 3 together... but isn't it a great start anyway? However, the true test will be when his original material comes out IMO. I don't think 1D is a very good comparison: they used to only have original singles and are very polarizing: some people will not buy even a charity single because it's them... While others just love them. I don't think James is currently facing the issue to the same extend (he just has the X factor tag on his back to fight for certain music lovers). |

Well done to James. As someone said, it's a good start, looking forward to his own stuff.

Dont suppose he'll hold that position for long. Downloading is a fairly new phenomenon in the UK Charts and is increasingly the main purchase source. Suspect many will overtake fairly quickly.

Yes turning the song into a hit and making it more popular than the original...yes that constitutes as complete annihilation.

It's the test of time now to see if he can actually produce decent original songs, instead of covers.

Chart in the top 20 singles downloaded ever! and for it to be number 1 for over 5-6 weeks. Then you can comment until then dont question someone for not being an artist.... |

I actually prefer james' own songs from the james arthur band than his cover version of impossible.
Nonetheless it's still a massive achievement for him! so well done! |

Downloads are only 9 years old, that whole top 20 is made up of songs from the last 2-3 years, it'll probably be a completely new top 20 in the next 2-3 years.

The whole download thing is gaining momentum, whereas 2-3 years ago there were more singles sales. And given the number of record outlets that now no longer exist the market is likely to grow more. |

The real point surely is that at least the song, however it is bought, has been a success, isn't it. It hasn't languished in the bottom of the charts and then speedily exited it.
