I can't believe that awful Shaggy song sold so much. It wasn't even for charity or from a reality show.

He's got an awful long way to go if he wants to be included in the biggest selling single list.

Pretty poor sales compared to previous reality show winners that have similarly had their Number 1 handed to them on a plate though, don't you think?

At least he made the top ten though I guess.

Westlife for all people mock them are the 3rd most-number-ones-ever band or something like that. Beaten only by the Beatles and Elvis. The likes of Kylie, Queen etc who people perceive to have had number ones coming out of their ears are all nowhere near Westlife!

Bigger debut than Girls Aloud... despite the iTunes **** up (how did they cope with the demand for Leona but not Leon?).

Anyway, well done Leon.

Well maybe you wouldn't be proud of it, but I'm sure Leon is.
