I need an augmented reality video where the names are superimposed on the artist. I only recognised the old timers.

[Flying Pig]

Nightmare from Flying Pig in this thread. Just buy the single.

 

I bought five ( three CD's and two downloads). Whats that got to do with McCartney being a auld cunt?

[Flying Pig]

Official Charts Company press release:

 

They’ve done it! The Justice Collective’s Hillsborough tribute single has made it all the way to the 2012 Christmas Number 1, confirms the Official Charts Company.

 

The Justice Collective’s cover of He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother has landed the top spot on the Official Christmas Singles Chart today with sales of over 269,000.

 

The campaign has beaten off competition from X Factor winner James Arthur’s Impossible, racing across the finish line over 45,000 copies ahead of their rival. Last week’s chart topper Arthur has had another huge week of sales, shifting a further 224,000 copies in its second week to bring its tally to 713,000 since release.

 

He Ain’t Heavy... started the week trailing the X Factor winner by 3,000 copies. By Wednesday, December 19 The Justice Collective had overtaken James Arthur by 3,400, before extending their lead to 23,000 copies by Friday.

 

Most importantly, both Christmas Number 1 contenders have raised vital funds for their designated charities.

 

The all-star group, The Justice Collective, featuring a host of well known faces including Robbie Williams, Mel C, Rebecca Ferguson, Paloma Faith and Holly Johnson, are raising funds and awareness for the ongoing legal battle of the families of the Hillsborough tragedy.

 

Official Charts Company's Managing Director, Martin Talbot, says, “Congratulations to The Justice Collective on becoming the 2012 Official Christmas Number 1 with He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother. They fought a sterling campaign against one of the biggest singles of the year in James Arthur's Impossible and are worthy winners - in aid of a very worthy cause.”

 

Steve Rotherham, MP Liverpool Walton, says "We have done in 9 weeks what it normally takes 9 months or more to achieve. Working with a phenomenally dedicated team all of whom have worked for free and displayed total professionalism throughout"

 

Festive chart fact!

 

With He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother going to Number 1, members of the all-star Justice Collective now account for 20% of all the Christmas Number 1 singles in chart history. That’s 12 out of the 61 singles that have topped the charts in Christmas week.

 

Sir Paul McCartney has appeared on seven (four with The Beatles between 1963 and 1967, one with Wings in 1977, and two as part of Band Aid in 1984 and Band Aid 20 in 2004), Melanie C has appeared on three (between 1996 and 1998 with the Spice Girls), Robbie Williams on two (Somethin’ Stupid in 2001 and Band Aid 20), and Holly Johnson and Beverly Knight with one apiece with Band Aid and Band Aid 20, respectively.

Brilliant stuff. A huge well done to everyone involved and a thanks to our blue neighbours for playing the song at Goodison as part of a moving tribute.

 

Hopefully now we'll finally see justice for the families in 2013.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Boss.

[Trumo]

[Ginny]

[xerxes]

A worthy No 1 and another step in the debunking of X factor- a very satisfactory result.

Fair enough in general about X-Factor, but would have to exempt James Arthur from the comments as he has been exemplary in his behaviour, to the extent of telling people to stop buying his song if it looked like keeping the JC from number 1.

Does it really matter if its nr 1 or not?

 

Sounds like something a 14 year old girl would care about.

Considering being Number 1 meant it got shown and seen by millions on the Christmas Top Of The Pops today, I think it did matter a great deal. Considering the cause at the heart of it, the more exposure it gets, the better, frankly.
