One of the worst songs they recorded I think

Good to see this on the move. She always seems to get a boost after performances so it's a pity we don't have more lined up for this. Is this only the second and first appearance not on day time TV?

Come on Kelly!!

And it's nominated for Best Single at The Brits!!!

I need this back on Spotify. I hate delay UK released :(

Yours may not have peaked in the Top 10 but it's just outsold Glow as far as I know.

Chapter One has now sold over 290k in the UK and will go platinum any day now.

It will easily go Platinum in coming weeks. She's done so well. In the Top 20 biggest albums of the year and outsold most recent X Factor winners.

I actually quite like Sam Bailey. She is one of the only contestants who actually sounded amazing each week without a load of crap behind her. Her music may not be "current" and her album is full of covers but I'd prefer to listen to her than some other winners. She absolutely nailed it at London Pride this year.

I think One More Sleep is an excellent example of a good modern Christmas song which she will hopefully embrace and we will see return year on year. It didn't get to number one but I don't feel we need the number one to be Christmassy - just that they are present in the chart. A few have tried previously like The Feeling and The Killers but none seem to be lasting is the issue. For me, I miss the race to the top. It was exciting. There were always big releases around Christmas that, whilst not Christmas songs, tried to capture the spirit of the season. Unfortunately the last race was Joe vs. Rage with what I think is actually the worse Christmas number one in recent times. I'm sorry but the song doesn't scream festive and happy does it?!

I thought think he may increase now then begin to fall so Uptown Funk is back at the number one laptop later in the week. Should still top the official charts quite easily though.

This is my new jam. Can't wait for them to perform on X Factor!

I feel we need to only respond using gifs. Any takers?

The singles are really trying to sell the album more than they are there to all go Silver. They will release another in the new year to keep pushing sales towards 200k+ Looks like she will outsell the last few winners albums.

It's Top 10 on sales alone. Unfortunately it is only #75 on the streaming chart so that's why it ended up lower.

Ok the set was good but is Boss actually any good?! It didn't sound up to much to me. Quite surprised it's that high. Though I'm clearly out of touch of late.

#17 officially It is back in Top 10 on iTunes so maybe she can get a second week in the Top 20 but I guess she is let down by others having multiple versions, better streaming and physicals. I feel the changes to the release date and what not have not helped this release which is a shame. Good to see her album back up to #12 though. I hope it continues to rise with each new single. I expect we will get a 4th.

Ella Henderson - Yours up to #7

She's made the Top 10 on iTunes. Anyone know why no decent videos of her performance are on YouTube yet? Just low quality versions with random graphics around the actual video. Her team keep posting images but no video. That would be an obvious thing to share to promote the track.

Great news for Ella! She has the video premiere tomorrow, promo at the end of the week and the single bundle on Sunday to keep her hovering around here for a while hopefully.

STUNNING performance on X Factor.

With only about 1k between them in Friday update and TT on top for Saturday sales, they might just do it. Honestly think it's a much more worthy #1. Band Aid 30 May be for charity but it's not good.

I think the problem is that it's a bit depressing. It seemed even slower than Band Aid 20. The original had a bit of oomph to it. It just never really goes anywhere.

Incredible leap into the Top 15 based on Hollyoaks.

I think there are "bigger" songs on there to sell the album with the X Factor performance. I don't think you necessarily need a ballad for Christmas either. It's not 1998. I'm not saying it's a bad song - far from it. Just that it's not one I would have chosen and it's great to see it doing well and appreciating her incredible talent.
