Gah, the race for Christmas number 1's always an exciting one innit? We've had some bloody classics in the past - from...er....Bob the Builder to Leon actual Jackson. And it looks like X Factor winner Sam Bailey's gonna nab herself the numero uno spot this time round with her cover of Demi lovato's Skyscraper.
After winning everyone's fave telly talent show last weekend, S-Bails is *way* ahead of the rest in the big race, outselling her closest rival Pharrell Williams by two copies to one. Ooh, MATHEMATICAL.
Up to midnight last night, Sam had shifted 45,000 downloads...and that's before the proper CD single even hit real life shops today. Martin Talbot off of the Official Charts Company's well chuffed about it, too, saying: "Sam Bailey is out of the blocks and into a strong lead in the race to become this year’s Official Christmas Number 1." Hoorah.
