Hopefully Guinness will reply 'We only include songs/vedeos that sell on *merit*, rather than artificailly boosted by charity' :) Besides, with the continuing rapid development of this market, it's perfectly possible these figures will be exceeded before the next edition is published.

April 6, 200718 yr I'll make a (horribly depressing) prediction the next winner of X-Factor(4) will release his/her/their single in December 2007 on download only at 21:30 Hrs on Saturday evening and it will be #1 with 2.5 Hrs sales by the following day's chart. :puke2:
