Jahmene's debut album Love Never Fails is officially number 1 in the album charts. Excellent album.

Very impressive to be fair on him. Have never been a fan but if he can get a #1 album out of a covers album I really hope they invest properly in him!

It had very low sales. He's lucky he got to Number 1, most other weeks of the year he wouldn't have.

A #1 album is a #1 album and nobody can take that from him.

I suppose for a fan of The Voice it is unusual to see #1 albums so I'll let you off...

Not as low as 600 though, unlike some nobody winner from a flop show that we won't name

Even so , considering it's covers and had very little promotion it's quite some achievement

other x factor acts should try releasing their albums this time of the year, no doubt theyd also be #1 considering his sales

What an absolutely ridiculous post. Do you not think it's a bit too early to be saying such stupid things?

When does the winner ever release anything before the time the Live Shows begin? Only one winner has previously, Little Mix.

Be patient and wait before passing such strong judgement. Jahmene's album is a covers album anyway which is obviously going to take less time to come out with. James is currently writing & recording his songs.

Very true, plankenheimer the album didn't receive much promotion and still reached number 1. Personally I think this is a fantastic achievement.
I'm really happy for Jahmene.

Least he has a number 1 album under his belt unlike The Voice UK contestants.

Surprised he has a number 1 album considering its full of covers and with lack of promotion and bad reviews.

Probably the stupidest post on here ever. The guy got the biggest single of last year.

Ignore it...just trying to stir up some trouble clearly.

It's like the Matt vs James debates...completely unnecessary - it's always some 3rd party swooping and instigating it seeing the fans wage war while they sit on the sidelines and enjoy the conflict.

I personally think good on Jahmene but c'mon you can't say anything about James yet because so far he's done pretty well and his album hasn't even come out yet!

I would guess sales were around the 20k mark.

Still a #1 album. Haven't many of The Voice's acts had the opportunity to release an album in a 'quiet' week of sales? No #1 yet. X Factor acts had #1's under their belts after the first two series.

There was a TV ad for Jahmene's album (which was aired a lot), his album was reviewed in a number of publications and there was at least one interview in a national newspaper. So from what I can see, Jahmene had some promotion.

What does The Voice have to do with anything? I find it odd that people are defending Jahmene by slagging off The Voice and even the X-Factor winner. By all means defend Jahmene, but do it by being positive about him (e.g. talking about the quality of his work), not by being negative about others.

Not as much as most X Factor finalists get. But either way well done Jahmene.
