XSTATIC LEON IS NO1 HIT - Daily Star
Great article about Leon from The Daily Star. So pleased that he is being congratulated by most of the press. There's a small mention of "controversy", but I think that is all dying down now as people are concentrating on Leon's fantastic single sales instead. ![]() http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/view...on-is-No1-hit/ Quote:
XSTATIC LEON IS NO1 HIT ===============================X FACTOR winner Leon Jackson landed the Christmas No 1 yesterday with the fastest-selling single of the year. The singer shifted 276,000 copies of When You Believe, outselling the rest of the Top 10 combined. And it tops a fairytale Christmas for rag-to-riches star Leon, 18, who grew up in a council flat before landing his glittering £1million music contract. When You Believe was originally a duet by Mariah Carey, 37, and Whitney Houston, 44, before being covered by Leon – who turns 19 on December 30. His single outsold second-placed What A Wonderful World – a duet by Katie Melua, 23, and the late Eva Cassidy – by almost five to one. But celebrations were marred after critics complained that X Factor singers were dominating the Christmas charts. Last year Leona Lewis, 22, topped the festive chart with A Moment Like This, while two years ago Shayne Ward, 23, did the same with That’s My Goal. Despite the controversy, Leon – from Whitburn, West Lothian – said: “I’m absolutely over the moon. It’s the best Christmas and birthday present ever. “Having the Christmas No 1 is an amazing ending to an amazing year and I’m overwhelmed and thrilled.” Meanwhile, The X Factor runner-up Rhydian Roberts has slated Leon’s debut single. The 24-year-old said: “I don’t particularly like the song to be honest. I didn’t like my version either.” http://www.mirror.co.uk/showbiz/2007...9520-20264903/ The Daily Mirror mention the exact sales were 275,742 singles sold.
