Great video for Drunk............apparently that cat is a bit of a Hollywood supercat - was in Pirates of the Caribbean and the last Bond movie !! Yes, the girl is Ed`s gf........Nina Nesbitt, Scottish singer/writer and rather talented. He`s just released the first track (for free) from the EP he made over New Year with US rappers............with Yeowolf. Not a fan of rap but the combo works well. http://hulkshare.com/5w6269y3edcm

Ed Sheeran`s next single Drunk - released around February I believe could well give him his first No 1................one of the best tracks from the album.

Ed`s jumper is by Common Sons Knitwear (£85) http://www.elementsclothing.co.uk/brands/129/common-sons

True, their popularity is slowly declining, but the phenomenal success of Ed Sheeran restores ones faith in British talent. The guy is amazing.

Matt got a boost from performing at the NTAs last night - back up to No 20.

Great news. Has he actually sold more than Shayne Ward did, who was very popular in Ireland ?

Totally agree.

4th week at No 1 for Matt. http://www.chart-track.co.uk/index.jsp?c=p...p&ct=240001

http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=...32&comments Hmm lead singer looks familiar :P Great album by the way.

And why are you so negative about him ? Give the bloke a chance can`t you. He cannot be compared to Joe or Leon............he is more mature, is a musician and has a track record of writing decent songs.

Matt back up to No 2.

This week definitely. Will be his last week at No 1 I reckon though.

To sell 100k in Ireland (with a population of just 4.5 million) equates to selling a million over here. No mean feat.

3rd week at No 1 for Matt and top selling single of the year in Ireland. http://www.chart-track.co.uk/index.jsp?c=p...p&ct=240001 Matt Cardle holds at No1 on the final Singles Chart of the year with ‘When We Collide’, and in the process he claims the top-selling single of 2010 in Ireland despite being on release for only eighteen days. During this brief period he has amassed nearly 100,000 sales, placing him fifth in the modern rankings (post 1990) – behind Elton John (Candle In the Wind), Bill Whelan (Riverdance) , Six (Whole Lot Of Loving Going On) and Mark McCabe (Maniac 200)

Matt has just tweeted "nearly 700k singles sold". The total sales on Sunday which we have are 739k - surely there couldn`t be so much of a cock-up could there ?

Matt increasing his lead ever so slightly.

wow incredible sales for Matt and so close to EJ`s record.

oops double post (too much wine)

Don`t know how old your dad is Spiidey, but think it`s great that he is young at heart and loves rock music. They do say 60+ is the new 40.

Well done Matt - Xmas No 1 - held off the challenge http://www.chart-track.co.uk/index.jsp?c=p...p&ct=240001

Matt looks to be increasing his lead very slightly.

http://www.independent.ie/entertainment/mu...ot-2470013.html Despite achieving more than three millions hits on YouTube for their video 'Horse Outside', one well-placed Irish music industry source described the race for the Christmas number as "game over" in favour of the 'X Factor' winner. "On Monday alone on physical copies, Cardle did 5,000 against the Rubberbandits' 3,000. What 'The X Factor' winner has going for him is that his CD single is a cheap stocking-filler for parents to give their kids. "The Rubberbandits' CD has 35 f***s on it. "It's more 'stocking over the head' than stocking-filler," the industry source added. Going to be very close.

Are you sure she wasn`t miming ?

Why do you assume the iTunes gift card affect will benefit her in particular ? It might benefit Matt as well which would keep him at No 1.
