James Arthur: Most explosive X Factor opening sales, ever!

via glooce

James Arthur has scored the most explosive start of any X Factor winner in history with his debut single Impossible, according to the Official Charts Company’s sales data released this morning.

Impossible, which went on sale on Sunday evening immediately after James Arthur was unveiled as the 2012 X Factor winner, had sold 187,000 copies by midnight last night according to Official Charts Company’s sales data.Arthur’s extraordinary performance already puts him on course for a storming full week, which will be bolstered further by the single’s CD release tomorrow (Wednesday, December 12).

No previous X Factor finalists’ debut single has hit such heights so quickly. In 2008, Alexandra Burke’s Hallelujah had sold 147,000 copies by the end of Monday, while Matt Cardle’s When We Collide in 2010 had sold 112,000 and Leona Lewis’ A Moment Like This in 2006 had sold 101,000 during their first two days on sale. Last year’s winners, Little Mix’s Cannonball had sold 69,000 at this stage of its opening week.

Comparisons with Shayne Ward’s all-time fastest selling X Factor winner’s single, 2005’s That’s My Goal, are difficult because it was issued in the early days of digital. The single had sold only 46,000 copies on download by Monday midnight, but exploded when the CD was released on Wednesday – it sold 289,000 copies on that day alone, on its way to a record X Factor opening week total of 742,000.

Official Charts Company Managing Director Martin Talbot says, “There has been a lot said about X Factor’s popularity this year and questions have been raised that perhaps its momentum is beginning to wane. But this amazing opening performance by James Arthur suggests that it remains the pre-eminent launch pad for new artists. Whether Arthur will match Shayne Ward’s 2005 total, only time will tell – but he has a fantastic chance.”

The other previous biggest opening week totals are Alexandra Burke’s Hallelujah (576,000), Leona Lewis’ A Moment Like This (571,000) and Joe McElderry’s The Climb (451,000).

In related news, proceeds from James Arthur's single will be donated to children’s charity, Together For Short Lives, who support children and the families of children with life-threatening and life-limiting conditions.

Olly Murs talks about his very small penis

"It's not about quantity, it's about quality.
And I am all about quality."

When we think of singer Olly Murs, one thing in particular jumps to mind. No, not his cheeky personality, great music, or hip-thrusting dancing skills. We're talking about his trouser bulge.

Yes, we are fully aware that we have filthy minds.

Now Olly has spoken out about his love of crotch-hugging trousers, and even gone as far as to estimate the actual length of his willy. Graphic.

"Maybe 13 cm?" He told heat magazine, when asked about his 'length'. "That's what I'd go with - it's definitely not 20cm. It would be too big. I think 13cm."

You're all running around the room looking for a ruler right now aren't you? AND YOU SAY WE'RE FILTHY? PAH.

Olly also revealed that he isn't fussed about his bulge being a regular conversation topic, which is good - considering we talk about it a LOT.

"It doesn't bother me," he said. "I have never, honest to God, tried to emphasise it. It has always been other people."

He added: "I have never thought of myself as someone who has a big bulge. But this is probably the first time I will be arrogant by saying I have never had a complaint...it's not about the size; it's what you can do with it that counts.

"It's not about quantity, it's about quality. And I am all about quality."

Sheesh an actual IN-DEPTH conversation about willies and sex. It's all a bit too much for us at 11am in the morning.

So it's all official then - Olly Murs has a big shlong. Perhaps he and Harry Styles can form some sort of club.

Robbie Williams thinks One Direction probably really ‘dislike’ each other

Robbie Williams has claimed that the lads from One Direction probably really dislike each other.

The Take That star has been casting his mind back to the days when he was in a boyband and admitted that while he ‘loved’ bandmate Gary Barlow, there was a lot about the group leader that he really, really ‘disliked’ too.

The ‘Angels’ hitmaker told Shortlist magazine that he has a whole variety of feelings for the ‘Back For Good’ songwriter and explained:

“I just really disliked him. I loved him and disliked him.”

Williams thinks that Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles and Niall Horan probably have a lot of the same thing going on and added:

“I’m sure that in One Direction right now, there’s going to be hatred between certain members for certain things, all young and daft stuff.”

However Louis Tomlinson could not disagree more. He has insisted that the boys are the best of friends and on on Australian TV show Sunday Night, Lou Lou said:

 “It’s such a frustrating question….I just don’t understand how you can see the way we are together – on camera and off camera – and look at it as if it’s being contrived.”


“It’s so evident that we do get on so well and I just don’t think we’re good enough actors to pull off that kind of friendship!”

What do you think Directioners? Great friends or not? Surely if they were so close Zayn could have at least attended Tomlinson’s charity football match this week, don’t you think? wow shut up

UK boy band One Direction big winner at MTV Video Music Awards (Videos + Pics)

Via Glooce

LOS ANGELES -- British boy band One Direction were the big winners at the MTV Video Music Awards on Thursday, edging out Rihanna and taking home three prizes to crown their arrival on the U.S. pop scene just six months ago.

The five baby-faced guys, contestants on the British version of TV singing contest "The X Factor," beat Justin Bieber and Rihanna for best pop video, and fellow all-boy British outfit The Wanted as best new artists.

They also won the most-shareworthy video award for their debut hit single "What Makes You Beautiful" and later performed single "One Thing" to hordes of screaming girls at the two-hour Los Angeles ceremony.

"To win one Moonman is amazing, to win two is incredible," said Harry Styles, as the band collected the silver VMA trophy for best new artists.

"Thank you so much! We have grown up watching this show and to collect one of these straight away is incredible," said a jubilant Niall Horan.

Rihanna, who went into the VMA's sharing a leading five nominations with Canadian rapper Drake, came away with just one award.

But it was the most coveted award of the night - video of the year - and the Barbados-born superstar won it for her dizzying visual romp in hit single "We Found Love."
