I don't think everyone who heard and bought the song would have known Ed Sheeran wrote the song. I think Ed being behind the song, and thus the song having a bit of depth to it (IMO anyway), and people liking the song is the main reason. Would it have had a small impact? I don't think knowing Ed Sheeran wrote it would have been the sole reason.
![]() But I agree that I don't know whether that in tis own right made any difference. It might mean people like it if they like his songwriting, but just because a song is written by someone doesn't usually make people buy it if they don't otherwise enjoy it. |

I think it's doing fine. Still comfortably in the TOP 10 on iTunes (#3) and he is getting some streaming too, since he is playlisted on Spotify's Hot Hits UK. Of course, with Clean Bandit's big streaming nothing can take the #1 away from them.
Of course, as all Christmas songs this one will crash after Christmas. |

Yes it's not flopping thank goodness.
However gone are the days where the winners are selling what Alexandra, Leona and James sold for their winners single. |

It was already getting worse when Ben Haenow won two years ago. Then streaming really took over and the chart week moved from Sunday-Saturday to Friday-Thursday and it became practically impossible for XF winners to go to #1. You just have to look up to numbers to see how digital tracks sales fell off a cliff. And this year for the first time the X Factor winner didn't get a physical release. The good thing is SYCO went on with the times and secured some Spotify support for the winner's single. |

Of course, as all Christmas songs this one will crash after Christmas. 1) Clean Bandit - 21k 2) Rag'n'Bone Man - 17k 3) Little Mix [Touch] - 15.2k 4) Louis Tomlinson X Steve Aoki - 24 sales behind 5) Matt Terry - Another 184 sales behind |
