Not really a fan of the Pharrell track - I must be such a miserable person. :lol: Well done to Sam <3

Sales thread up!

Pharrel should probably get #1 next week anyway, so never mind :lol:

 

Expected result.

Real creative there, Simon <_<

hope Pharrell can reach #1 next week (since that's likely its last chance to get there)

 

'Happy' such good vibes. :wub:

Glad that is over, now bring on the far more interesting gift card week.

(21) The Big Reunion-I Wish It Would Be Christmas Every Day

 

this is a awful remake of the now 40 year old tune and it is shame that these groups record some go tunes back in the day.

This is such a non event song. Happy for Sam but please can a genuine Christmas/normal track get there next year. So tired of x factor dominating and those campaigns.

That Sam single cover is horrendous.

Well, she looks like 'la dion' there. :lol:

Wizzard just missed out on making it two versions of "I Wish..." finishing at number 41

hope Pharrell can reach #1 next week (since that's likely its last chance to get there)

It's got quite a large lead on itunes atm :)

Beautiful cover from Sam. :wub:

No.

Anyway, G'WON LA DION still being Top 10 in the album charts.

First time hearing Sam Bailey's version, and a vastly superior version to the original it is too. Whether it's because this is really good or Demi's version is really bad I'll leave to your imagination.

Totally uninspired even for X Factor, hopefully this falls very quickly so they can at least be a little more creative next year (I can dream can't I?)

 

Can't decide which is worse out of the two, this is a basically a note-for-note cover anyway.

Love how Scott and Jameela are using this Truth Or Dare game to complete ruin Sam's reputation, even before she has been officially announced as number 1.

I thought that too! Hopefully her reputation will stay intact longer than James Arthur's... :unsure:

I expect we'll have Band Aid 30 next year.

True. I really hope it can bring Christmas sales in this digital age back up to 600-900k or something. Would love to see a song sell that huge again someday soon.
